Though this made me wonder what the "right" choice is? If my goal is to make oodles of money as a successful attorney, well then this might not have been the right choice. If my goal is to be a supportive wife and mother, then working from home is likely the right choice. At least for now. It's interesting how the "rightness" of a decision is completely relative and dependent on the context of the situation.
I also was comforted by the thought that this decision is not "make or break." I know that I can always take a different job and resurrect/launch my legal career at a later time. Moreover (and I know it's trite), but I know that my little boy won't be little forever, so I should enjoy the time that I have with him right now. [I swore I would never say stuff like this before I had a baby, but I suppose I have turned to the dark side...]
Anyway, I hope that I'm able to balance working at home and child care at home. More to come soon. I start work on Wednesday.
