[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BigLaw wife here: Most of the wives of partners have low hour jobs. Or they do not work at all, especially when the kids are young. Very few double partner couples with children. Those who do, have a LOT of extra help. Female BigLaw partners often do not have children. Check it out -- there are not that many female Biglaw partners in the first place.[/quote]

Yes, we are like the mythical Bigfoot.  Who knows if we really even exist?  (Sorry, but having a husband who works for a law firm doesn't make you an expert on the legal industry.  Especially not an expert on WOMEN in the legal industry.)

Honestly, I think a lot of people posting comments about how hard it is to be in BigLaw and have kids are being fed a bunch of baloney by their spouses.  Yes, it's a lot of work to be a litigation partner at an international law firm.  No, it doesn't mean that you get to abdicate being a parent, too.  [/quote]
