I have recently made the decision to go solo (yay me!) and my son is 11 months old. He is the reason I decided to go solo. My current practice is extremely unrewarding. When he gets to the age to ask ‘mom, why do you have to work??’ I don’t want to be the disgruntled lawyer I am now. I want to give him a response that will make him proud of me. While he is currently in daycare, I plan to have more children and become a WAHM-lawyer. I know it will be challenging but you can never get those first few months and years back.

Thanks again,

Patrice

Occasionally I work at home but find it hard to concentrate w/all the interruptions. If you can pull it off w/o pulling your hair out, more power to you gf!

Wish I had it prior to my son being born. =) He is 20 months now. My practice now reflects many changes to accommodate his lovely existence. I actually prefer the changes that have been made! The resulting flexibility has been awesome.

Thanks so much for commenting! Isn’t it nice to know that there are others out there doing the same crazy things? ;)

Let’s connect over email or Twitter or Facebook. Its always nice to have fellow WAHM Lawyers to connect with. :)

I decided to go in the direction of hiring a sitter for a few hours each week when I really need to be in the zone, but I’m also making the WAHM lawyering work for my family. It’s a delightful challenge (though I, too, have days when I feel like tearing out my hair).

While I don’t plan on having children, I would like to have a couple of large dogs at some point. If one can manage a virtual practice and a child, I can certainly manage a pair of German Shepards!
