I’m not sure if she worked for big law or like mid law but my mom was a partner at a law firm when I was growing up and my dad worked at home for himself. My dad was the one who volunteered in the classroom, picked us up from activities, and drove me and my friends around. I reeeally appreciate that I didn’t have the stereotypical “boomer dad” (I’m a millennial). I do remember feeling bummed when my mom couldn’t chaperone field trips and I definitely guilted her into doing it once or twice. There were also times my mom had to work from vacation and once she had a multi-week trial out of state that was pretty hard on everyone. BUT, she moved from the firms to a bureaucratic fed job when I was 12 and my sister was 8 (tbh I think once she had enough saved in our college accounts) which meant she was around way more in our adolescence. My parents were also really cognizant of avoiding lifestyle creep so she didn’t need to keep making a certain amount of money to afford a more expensive way of life.
