[quote=Anonymous]I "stayed the course" before a kid and after I had one and tried to make partner at my firm. That didn't happen (and, truthfully, wasn't even sure that I really wanted to be a partner), but I knew that if I didn't give it a shot I would question my decision - it was something I needed to at least try for. Now that I know I am not making partner, I feel a sense of relief knowing where I stand (and it helps that my firm is not an "up and out" firm - knock on wood) and, in knowing where I stand, it has motivated me to try to have a little better work/life balance. Of course, now I look back at all of the work I put in, time away from family, etc I do feel a sense of regret (and sometimes anger :)), but my DC is still young enough that I don't feel as if I missed out on everything. And fortunately I have husband who is a very involve, hands on, father who was also supportive of my choice.[/quote]
