[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an older mom - we all thought we were breaking ground in getting the ability to work part-time in law. It was unheard of at the time. But now it seems like the young lawyer moms don’t really want to take that path, which is a little disappointing. The long hours in law really only started after women entered the profession, and part-time isn’t really part-time in the law anyways. I went to 60% with first-born, then increased to 80% about a year after third-born was born. Now I work in-house, full-time. I will never regret taking that time with my kids. The law is a grind - a marathon, not a sprint. Remember that as you make your decisions. Your heart will tell you the right thing to do.[/quote] You're disappointed that women aren't going part time - that they decided the solution that worked for you doesn't work for them? That's pretty self-involved, even for a lawyer. [/quote]
