Yep--I had a career in a prestigious law firm in downtown Seattle and I was on the partnership track.  I was the person who developed our law firm's parental leave policy.  I was the second woman they had ever hired.

I had every intention of going back after baby was born but I did not want to.  So many people were proud of me becoming a lawyer back in the day when it was breaking the mold so it was tough to think I was disappointing others.

Like you, I do extrememly part time things that make the law more my hobby now. But my kids now 22 and 20 thrived with an at home parent.  This was more important than anything I ever did for clients.
