[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dh is home by 6pm usually.   But he leaves for work at 6:00am, so it’s not like it’s a short day. [/quote]

This.  I am in the office no later than 7, and often earlier.  Generally home by 6:30, though not always.  My commute is 15 minutes in the morning, and 25-30 in the evening.

OP, what time does your husband get into the office?  [/quote]

Op here - This morning dh left by 6:15 to get into the office by 6:45 and beat rush hour. On slow days he leaves around 7ish. [/quote]

I'm not sure why you think 12 hour work days are the norm.  OP, many many many people have jobs that do not involve 12 hour work days.  I do not make $500k a year either.  But I do get to see my kids at 4pm every day.  I work 7:30am-3:30pm.[/quote]

Do you know what biglaw is, OP?  Do you work?[/quote]

Yes I do know what big law is.  And yes I work and DO NOT make $500k.

My point was that OP is having such a hard time imaging a world that is not the 1% where you get home at a reasonable time.  My DH and I are "poor" compared to big law with a HHI of $180k.  Compared to much of America we are filthy rich.  We are both home by 5pm and do not log into work after the kids go to sleep.  It works for us.[/quote]
