[quote=Anonymous]In academic medicine, not big law, but there are some similarities. And all my sympathies.... i had twins & basically don’t remember the first year of their life. I was so so exhausted & miserable, but I was too tired to cry. it gets better when the kids are older. I do a “split shift” too, which is doable bc we live near the hospital - come in sort of late (9), work until 6, and go back to work 8:30-midnight. We had a nanny - there are pros & cons to that - my husband did a lousy job as a parent to infants/toddlers (he’s much better now!) so a nanny was key for my sanity; however, if your husband is helpful daycare is likely fine. Anyway, mostly here to say I feel your pain & it will almost certainly get better as the kid gets older. I get a lot of satisfaction from my work & helping patients, so sticking it out has (so far) been worth it![/quote]
