Parenthood differs greatly between women and men lawyers. First of all for men lawyers they are the bread winners, the man of the house they go out each day and work and earning a living so that most of their wives financially do not have to work outside the home. There is no need to be out of the office a certain time each night so that you can pick up the kids from the sitters and still make it home in time to put a meal on the table. For men if the kids are up at night sick or there is a new baby in the house that requires nightly feedings this is usually done by the woman of the house there for allowing the man of the house to get a good nights rest so that he can have a productive day at work. Woman who balance motherhood have the worries of not only being able to work and be productive at work but also balance the schedules of her family. Once again if there is a new child in the home then there are going to be night feedings which will most likely be done by the woman (I said most likely I am sure there are men out there who take part in these night feedings whether it be by formula or mom pumping ahead of time.) anyways if it is mom then she has to be able to balance less sleep with the same demanding schedule at work. Men are seen as good providers for their family in the office while the wife stays home and takes care of the family while a women is sometimes looked down up as one who by trying to do both is actually only giving half an effort to work and the other half to her family which means that either way you look at it both sides are being shorted time.
