[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No thanks. Check out this thread where female lawyers exhibit stockholm syndrome by setting up working a few days after birth as a good thing (or in one case 6 hours delivery) and people mentioning that law firms deliberately staff female lawyers on difficult cases while pregnant to test their "dedication". Forgive me but I want my daughter to be able to rest after delivery and not view this sadistic work ethic as something to be proud of.

I'm a lawyer and have never experienced any of that.  My job was super flexible when I had kids (and I was on forced bed rest with twins so I worked out of the office for three months before they were born and then took three months of maternity leave).  I came back in exactly the same place I left, not behind at all.  My maternity leave was fully paid.  I have only continued to make more and more money as time goes on.  I have a flexible job now where I can work from home, take half days, take time off, never work weekends, etc., and still make really good money.  [/quote]
