    Many female lawyers at my firm end up going part time once they start having kids. It's very widespread. And we are very flexible to let them do that. This is a good thing in my view -- not everybody wants to work their ass off to be a law firm partner, and we allow people the flexibility to make their own choices.

    But you can't expect to focus on being a mom while being equal to men who focus their time and energies on their career. In other words, you can't have it all. If you want pay equal to men you have to do the work equal to men.

    @JS69 have a job from home or work close to home? I can think of some ways to make it work. It'll be very taxing on the body but I'm sure the ability to brag about it by the time the kids turn 15 will could be well worth it.

    So you actually think going to work a 12 hour day compares to a stay at home mom? With less power and finance than the man? Are you from the 1950's? If so I understand your thought process, however, statistics show that a house wife works many more hours per day including weekends cleaning, cooking, tending to newborns especially, and cleaning up the house. All while going unpaid and building zero retirement fund, or social security. Doesn't sound equal to me cause all you have to do is divorce the bitch and she has nothing.
