[quote=Anonymous]Attorney mom here -- do what you can to accommodate the requests.  Believe me, she will be gone before you know it and you will miss the time with her so much that your heart will ache about it.  And it's WAY more important than that memo, or brief, or conference call, or what have you.  Legal work expands or contracts to fill available time.  I actually spent a lot of time with my DCs despite working like a maniac for years -- and never said no, that I can recall, to a direct request to go to dinner or Staples for school supplies or such -- but I know that my work put a damper on the requests, there were times when I was on the blackberry or iphone incessantly at Staples or dinner, and I have had to travel extensively at times for work.  So wish I had some of that time back.  There is nothing more important than your kids.  Obviously you have to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table, but if they want time with you - make it happen.... Because they won't want it soon enough. [/quote]
