[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, another biglaw mom here. It’s really hard, and you’re doing a great job already. I just wanted to add 2 things that seem like red flags to me - 1) you said you have bad anxiety and 2) you mentioned getting very sick a few days a month. This suggests to me that your health - physical and mental - really isn’t great right now and I think you should think seriously about what else you can do and what work/life balance and career would suit you better. It does get easier in some ways as your kid gets older, but in other ways it gets more difficult. Not everyone is built for biglaw - I don’t mean that as a criticism (in fact, probably if you are you have some kind of personality disorder!) - and it sounds to me like you might not be. Good luck![/quote]
