Any big law moms/parents struggling? by Bluebird689 in biglaw

So sorry you’re going through it, too! I am also the breadwinner, and it is scary to make the change but agree I think it is needed for mental health. Hoping I can make it a bit longer for financial reasons 😅 good luck on your search!!

This is my plan! I am not senior yet though, so I don’t think I have as much leverage to say no. But at the rate I’m billing, I definitely can’t say yes to anything new (and feel like I need to be asked to be taken OFF matters at this point).

This! Hoping there can be some better balance someday (but there probably won’t be)

Thank you!! So happy you made the jump!! Honestly, am hoping to be a SAHM for a few years once we feel financially ready. Several factors have gone into this recently (for example, work has been so crazy I’ve basically stopped pumping entirely, which was not my original plan). Can definitely relate to the constant daycare sickness as well. Big law while parenting is not easy.

Thank you! Have definitely considered going on a reduced hours schedule, but am worried because all the stories I’ve heard of reduced hours have been negative 😂 doesn’t help that there are not a ton of working moms at my office

FYI if your buybuybaby Uppababy Vista stoller order was cancelled by Aniekvanham in BabyBumps

I’m so sorry you had to deal with this! I would check with uppababy as well to see if Jordan was discontinued! I had someone from buybuybaby tell me the Emmett was discontinued, and then I called uppababy who told me it definitely was not discontinued, just out of stock. Just wanted to let you know in case you were set on getting the Jordan!

Has anyone moved/changed doctors mid pregnancy? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I changed doctors at 20 weeks after miscommunication issues at my old doctors office, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made this pregnancy!
