Blog 32

We all know that the decision to become a parent is something that takes a lot of planning, decision making, and overall preparedness. I am pretty sure that everyone at some point or another in their life wants to be a parent to a child. Knowing that you have brought a child into this world is something that gives one such gratification, and a lot of enjoyment as you gets to watch them grow, learn and mature into a young man or woman. Now back in the day, it was a lot easier to plan for children. The reason behind that was usually the father was the one to go out to work, make the money for the family and would bring these goods back to the home. While on the other hand the women “mother” would be the one that would stay home with the children, help them with homework, learning, overall child development, etc. Now fast forward to today. Things are definitely a lot different. It’s now not uncommon to see both parties actually out there working and bringing a paycheck home due to the cost of living that we all deal with. Now when thinking of becoming a lawyer a lot of dedication comes along with that; you have to be quite committed as a business partner/owner of the practice. With that, lawyers in the family would more then likely be the breadwinner of the family. So in turn males usually do not have the wives working when they are a lawyer as they can bring home enough money to support the family. While on the other hand women who are lawyers a lot of times have to give a little bit more towards the family so many times find themselves getting behind in work, and cannot give as much time to the practice as they still need to help play a vital role in the raising of their family. That’s why usually women lawyers do not become as high profile as family plays a lot more important of a role to them then it usually does to the male side of the house.
