[quote=Anonymous]Kids age 19 and 21. Lawyer. When I told the partners I was pregnant, they told I was not supposed to have kids until I made partner. There was no maternity leave policy. I had to negotiate it. And I was expected to feel grateful for 6 weeks. There was no ability to arrange my schedule so I could pump. Even with DH sharing in leaving work to care for sick children, I did not have the leave or flexibility to do so. I was in a state of low grade panic that kids were going to get sick in childcare (which happened a lot) because I had no way to miss work and care for them even 1/2 of the time. I felt like a crappy mother and a crappy employee. All the time. [/quote]
