[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And also, what kind of involvement with the kids?

My spouse gets home between 8:30 and 10 most nights.  Does not help in mornings with kids but sleeps in so he can be productive at work.  Helps out at least 1 day per weekend -- other one is usually spent at office.  Trying to gauge if this is the norm.[/quote]

How senior is he, OP?  If he just made partner, he is getting tons of admin crap dumped on him.  It should trail off in a few years.

I also think you should ask him what he expects in terms of additional commitments going forward.

Too many people think once you make partner it is a cakewalk, but that isn't the case.  How radically have his hours increased since he was an associate?  Also, does he have a major matter that could be causing the uptick?  My DH has been ridiculously busy for the last year, but the case is going to trial soon.  His hours have been like nothing we've ever seen in 15 years of dong this (we're both large firm lawyers).  It will end.  We both just keep saying that.  In a way it has brougth us closer together because we treaure every second we get right now.

Good luck to you and your DH, OP.[/quote]
