[quote=Anonymous]I'm a government lawyer with regular hours, but see my biglaw friends and their families, and friends that have gone part time or quit work. Honestly, if you're in biglaw and will have a nanny/au pair for kids past the daycare years, then have a second so they have a family member in their day to day life. Kids really do miss their parents when both are working nights and weekends regularly. And a sibling helps, but more than one sibling just dilutes the limited parent time too much. For families with a parent that leans out and can spend a ton of time on playdates and activities, have as many kids as you can personally handle. Only children get lots of friend time, bigger families have enough bandwidth to spread between more kids. For regular working parents with regular job hours (i.e., not enough flexibility to take on a ton of volunteer roles or shuttle to after school activities), stick with one or two. [/quote]
