[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  You should have thought about this before you went down this path.  It is surprising that you did not.[/quote]

I don;t think it is that surprising. I think most people have a general idea of what life with kids is going to be like but until you do it, you really don't have a concept of the day to day of family life. I certainly know that I am learning things as LOs get older and things tend to change with each phase. Its hard to predict. Sure if someone works 60-70 hour weeks, of course you can predict that they won't have much family time, but in less extreme cases, I think its easy to not really be sure what time changes are needed.[/quote]

Sure.  But OP is saying that this is an extreme case.  He is a partner.  He will be working 60-90 hour weeks, and he will be on call always.  That is what it means.  So she either has to be the default parent or she has to hire out absolutely everything.  The same would be true of a female partner for the most part, although there is a very, very slight allowance for female partners to every year or so acknowledge that they have a kid with an obligation.  There is no such allowance for men.[/quote]
