[quote=Anonymous]OP, how old are your kids? Did you feel this way before they came along? I think it is common for female lawyers with young kids to feel the way you feel because the reality of law is that performance is highly correlated with the number of labor-hours you have available to put in and your ability to focus intensely during those hours. Parenting young kids diminishes the typical woman's supply of both assets, so even when we're doing okay by most objective measures, we end up feeling like we're underperforming, disappointing others, or are one case away from dropping the ball that confirms everyone's suspicion that we such and got where we are only by lucky accident. I don't have any advice, except to say that you might like the practice better with a different work-life balance. Can you get out of litigation and into a regulatory or counseling-type job for a few years? [/quote]
