[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]

[b]If you're not willing to suck it up and be the default parent,[/b] then you need to get a better nanny/personal assistant to do this stuff for you.  He's clearly not willing to do it.  And of course, ideally how you would manage parenting/running the household would be something you discuss before you get married and have children.[/quote]

Or OP's husband could suck it up and find a less hour-requiring job.

But clearly he's not willing to do it.[/quote]  Or, like many big law partner's wives I know, she won't let him.  She wants his cash, but is unable to deal with the consequences.  The alimony will be decent as long as he doesn't meet someone nicer who convinces him to take a lower-paying job.[/quote]
