[quote=Anonymous]I actually feel like I have good work/life balance. I am a single mom by choice to a one year old. I’m 40. I worked hard (long hours) at several different legal jobs prior to my daughter’s birth, but I work 35 hours per week now. I’m tired all the time, but I’m ridiculously happy, and so far I feel like the balance is working out well. I don’t take work emails or calls when I’m with DD unless it’s an absolute emergency— I’ve set a hard limit. I take a pay cut for that, but we’re doing fine on 80% of a government salary. We live in a one bedroom apartment. I will admit that I feel like a much better mom than lawyer these days (I’m having trouble being a great litigator on 35 hours per week), but I think balance means being “good enough” everywhere, not perfect.[/quote]
