[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a man is in NYC, DC, or Boston and in a Big Law firm, then odds are he is tempted by women, drugs, etc. That doesn't make every lawyer bad, however.[/quote]
Maybe if he's on the set of "The Good Wife" or in a John Grisham movie, but not so much in real life.  I've actually worked at BigLaw in NYC and DC for most of my adult life.  Trust me, very few of the women (or men) are particularly tempting, and the most abused drug is caffeine.  Yes, I've met some train wreck people, but not too many.  Most are too busy working to get into trouble.[/quote]

Seriously.  Don't believe everything you see on tv.  My husband is extremely good at what he does (Biglaw partner), and is an awesome husband and father.  He has always raced me to get up with the kids in the middle of the night, and puts my needs ahead of his own (I try to do the same for him).  He is sensitive, thoughtful, compassionate and fully engaged in home life.  He does travel a lot, but does everything he can to maximize his time with his family.  And he's not alone.  We have 4 or 5 close Biglaw partner friends who revel in their home lives and are wonderful parents and spouses/ life partners.  The pricks are out there for sure, but I'm not convinced that they are a large majority.[/quote]
