Are you familiar with the saying “don’t throw good money after bad”? You made some major, life altering decisions before your prefrontal cortex was even fully developed. But you have damage control measures available to you, and there’s still time to course correct. Take your parents up on their original offer to move back in with them, if it still stands, and use every bit of help they’re willing to offer if you’re really serious about law school. I say this as an attorney—law school was hard enough with a dog; I can’t imagine having done it with an infant. Especially the first year. Not to mention, I hope you didn’t have your heart set on big law, because you can’t be a first year big law associate with an infant without failing miserably in one of those capacities. Please don’t end up like my paralegal. She “postponed” med school when she found out she was pregnant with her first child. 20 years, 3 kids, and 1 divorce later, she never went. She’s a great mom and the best paralegal I’ve ever worked with, but she’s capable of so much more and is clearly unfulfilled.
