[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  We have a good but not great nanny. I know he won't be the one going to doctor's appointments. The trigger for this was his asking me what I had gotten our child (and his mom) for Christmas.  When I said I hadn't because I've been busy at work he said he ha no ideas and he'd leave it up to me since I was "better" at it.  Our son likes trains, trains, trains, balls, trains, and trains.  I also told him he could order a present for his mom if he felt so strongly about it.[/quote]

I don't think this has much to do with whether he's a law firm partner.  He could do this task if he felt like it.  He doesn't feel like it.  You have one child.  There really is a lot of time in the day, outside of work, for either one of you to pick out gifts for one child.  After bedtime, nap time on the weekend, etc.  Now whether either of you FEEL like doing this in your limited free time...that's the crux of the issue.

Take care of your own kid and tell him good luck with his mother.  If she gets nothing, refer her to her son.[/quote]

You are clueless as to what the demands are when it comes to certain occupations.

Like I said these are things that need to be resolved before one marries or has children. Alternatively, both parties should agree - if they are so inclined - that they will just settle for making a lot less money.[/quote]

That is the time machine solution. But OP does not have a time machine. So now what?[/quote]
