[quote=Anonymous]Do NOT have your husband stop working. Big Law is brutal and if you feel like you're going to be counseled out AND you are not meeting your hours requirement, that is likely to happen. I'd ask for a reduced schedule (60% seems good - most associates I knew who asked for 80% ended up getting no real break besides working from home more). I'd look for a new job that is not in Big Law. I'd make sure your husband is able to maintain his job security in the event you lose yours. You are not a bad person or a bad attorney or a failure because you can't make Big Law and its insane lifestyle demands work for you and your family. You are smart to see this coming, and you would be wise to seek your way out now. [/quote]
