[quote=Anonymous]DH is an equity partner in biglaw; I stayed home with our kids. When our 4 kids were younger, he was home every night for dinner. He would go to work at 6 am so he could be, but he was absolutely determined to have family time daily. He would work again after the kids went to bed.

Now our kids are older - high school and college-aged. DH makes time to attend events that are important to them: lacrosse games, band concerts. As he views it, he is in control of his time, so he can block off time for them. Each kid also get some weekend one-on-one time with him regularly, too: hikes, bike rides, etc. He also loves to cook so frequently does that on weekends. He enjoys doing home repairs himself and teaches basic skills to the kids. He never had time to coach their teams or anything like that, but he still has really strong relationships with each of them.

I do think he is kind of a unicorn in biglaw. I actually overheard another biglaw dad tell DH that he was making the rest of them look bad. [/quote]
