[quote=Anonymous]OP, I don't know if you are reading this thread still, but if you are, I can tell you I was in your position almost exactly 7 years ago. I had a really hard time adjusting to motherhood. I was an associate at a big law firm and my husband had just made junior partner.  Yes, like was financially easy, but our quality of life sucked.  Fast forward 5 or so years and life is much, much better. My kids are 7 and 4 and are much easier and more enjoyable.  But the key to our happiness was finally cutting ties with the large law firms.  We had made enough money to significantly pay down debt and afford a house in a neighborhood we like.  It took about a year of looking and interviews before we each found the right fit, but I now work at a trade association and DH at a boutique firm specializing in a niche area of law.  We make about 70% of what we used to make but we are so, so happy.

To get to the point after my long-winded rambling, your life in 5 years is not going to look anything like it does today.  Kids get easier (until they get harder!) and you don't have to stay at your job.  It may take awhile, but you are not stuck in your current career forever. [/quote]
