[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have three young kids (8, 6, 2), and my husband and I are both litigation partners in private law firms. We live in the Midwest in a LCOL area and are fortunate to live in a district with excellent public schools. My office is 5 minutes from our house and the kids’ schools. We have been practicing law for ~15 years (10+ at our firms) and have generally lived well below our means, which made it possible for me to consider a reduced schedule without affecting our lifestyle. I love many things about my job (still do!) but decided to reduce my billable hours the year after our third baby was born. We have a PT nanny, but I didn’t want to outsource more. We also experienced some difficult losses on the way to our third, and that affected me and shifted my perspective on how I wanted to spend my time. I’m happy with my decision and the breathing room it has created. There are still weeks that feel overwhelming, but they are more infrequent than the norm. [/quote]
