ME-OW! Are you the butihave author? If not, why such a bitchy comment? If you are, I have to break it to you that eating hot dogs is not a sound weight loss plan. LOL

No, not the author, just a former biglaw attorney with kids who hated bitchy female partners, like the PP. They do other female lawyers no favors and are usually the most unsympathetic to women who want more of a work/life balance.

I'm PP and I'm not a partner. And trust me, I know all too well about the bitchy female partners who screw over other women...I've had 3 kids at the firm, I clearly am not making partner. That doesn't mean I have a lot of sympathy for an over-indulged former biglaw associate who is ABLE to stay at home b/c she happened to marry another biglaw attorney. Do you really not understand the irony of her bitching about biglaw, all the while being able to get away from it b/c her husband is still in biglaw? There are just so many things wrong with supporting her.

Listen, she has every right to make choices that she feels are best for her family. That is totally fine and I won't begrudge her that. But she bitches about it all - biglaw, married to biglaw, staying at home. And for that, I don't like her blog. I wasn't going to go on here and say one thing or another about it, but if she can post about her blog and what makes it so great, I certainly offer up my opinion as well.

Thank you, yes! It's funny that she goes on and on about big law sucking, but she fails to see that it's what is supporting her being able to stay home. Also, she needs to stop whining about how she's still "adjusting" to staying at home, by my count she hasn't worked in over a year (with all the various leaves of absence she has been granted). The only thing she's adjusting to is not being paid for sitting home. But, overall I just think it's all kind of a downer--I'm also former big law turned SAH (with similar aged kids), so I know her situation well--and I just think she's a "glass half empty" kind of person.

Anyway, of course we can criticize her blog just like we are free to criticize any other form of "entertainment." She started the blog and then pimped it all over the net. She's clearly trying to use it to make money, it's not just her simple mom-blog that she was keeping for friends and family that we all randomly came across. If she's upset that the criticism is personal, well, what did she expect when she turned her personal life into money making fodder? Plus, most of the criticism I've seen deals with people talking about how they don't like her attitude or her content or agree with her choices, which is pretty par for the course.

And she is a BAD WRITER. What about that?

Biglaw is the top firms. Dickstein is not anywhere near that list.
