My kids are 8, 6, and 3 and I have exceeded my requirements most years and on target to meet them this year. I work almost exclusively from home which is huge - no commute and I get to spend my mornings and evenings with my kids. And my weekend work is generally pretty limited, so I can spend my time with my family.
I have a house cleaner once a month, have my groceries delivered, and my husband’s job is a lot less demanding so he can handle things like afternoon sports practice or random school holidays. That said, I work after the kids go to bed most nights and don’t sleep enough, and exercise is more inconsistent than I would like.
This. My kids are 4, 3 and 1.5. I work from home 2-3 days a week and my husband picks up a lot of slack (daycare kiddos are sent home sick so often, and he manages 90% of that bc his job is way more flexible). I work most nights after they go to bed and catch up on work for 3-8 hours on the weekend during nap time. If I don’t clock weekend time, I fall behind and just end up regretting it. But I take my kids to school 2-3 days a week and have dinner w my fam every night, put them to bed every night, etc. it’s hard. We have a cleaning service every other week, full time daycare, lawn care, grocery delivery. We are budgeting for a house manager / family assistant as our kids become school aged. Oh! And we just started a meal service that delivers multiple dinners per week that require only minimal heating/assembly and it has been a game changer. My biggest gripe right now is that between work and kids I don’t exercise even close to enough (but I prioritize sleep) and my downtime with my husband is minimal bc there is always another chore after bedtime. Also, my husband does a LOT of picking up etc when I work late.
What do you do currently? Only have two kids, I’m just curious 🙂
Wow. Y’all are super stars! Curious - what are your billable hour requirements.
I’m a mom of a 6 yo and stepmom to 16 yo twins. Transactional NY Biglaw/2000 requirement. Often feel like I am drowning. Doesn’t help that I now have a 5 day in office requirement.
Also 1900. I def feel like I’m drowning some weeks! I am concerned about losing nap time as my kids age bc that’s how I keep up but also still feel present. I’m not sure how I will manage as they age and will likely either cut back or get help. I’m up for EP soon, and requirements will decrease slightly, so here’s hoping.
