[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lawyer mom here. I would give up your hard rule about not working weekends. Instead, be more flexible. Sometimes it is better to work for a few hours on Sunday night than on Tuesday night. Depends on what is happening with the kid and what is happening with work. Are you a partner? Can you delegate more to associates? [/quote] +100. My DH and I are both attorneys. I work in-house at a big company, which I suspect is less demanding than at a law firm. I find that the weekends are my most productive time. My kids do not mind if I work 4-5 hours on a weekend. That way, I am available on the weeknights, which is pretty important for homework etc (as they are 13 and 15 years old, and the homework has kicked in.) Also, I found that my DH even seems to prefer his alone time with the kids when I work 4-5 hours on a weekend. Give it a try![/quote]
