Attorney Becky Belke works at a Los Angeles law firm where colleagues regularly toil nights and weekends. But as a mother of three children under the age of 5, she wants to work only three days a week — even if it means she can't become a partner soon.

With THREE children under age 5, her children need her more than any client. And she won't become a "PARTNER" at the firm. Gosh.

It is a business decision. But maybe it is better that their children get love from someone else other than a lawyer.

I agree that with normal women the best place for them is with the kids at least until school age.

It doesn't have to be all or none and she found a way to compromise.

But I don't get to make choices for others and get a bit reluctant to judge the way this woman has been judged.

In other words, instead of looking for something good here (she can be at home part time) 'freepers' on this thread chose to bitch about her.
