Paintedfire-- I read your last post, which is exciting. Would the hours be better than what you are currently working?
I, too, am 29 and a lawyer. My husband is a SAHD. That's one option. But it sounds like it may not be something that your DF wants to do.
I think GuildJenn has some great advice. I do know that many women lawyers are unsure about their ability to rejoin the field after staying at home for a while with their children. I don't know what the reality is, as to whether that actually happens. I think you might do better with a part-time or not-full-time option where you can still do what you enjoy, but are not pressured to work so many hours.
And, private practice lawyers are not losers! Some of us have lots and lots of bills to pay.....
