Curious to get perspective...I have 2 kids in elementary school and I have no idea how my working spouse and I are going to manage virtual learning. I understand there’s no obvious solution, but curious if you find it odd that there’s no acknowledgment by leadership that this is a massive issue facing a large portion of the workforce (with potential implications to the business)? Not looking for advice on my situation, but perspective on how you think this will play out for orgs and employees.

Think beyond organisations - Social structures.

Long hours at job and high cost of living have already suppressed the desire of having multiple children.
Toddlers being taught in virtual mode are basically being taught by parents. This is a huge deterrent to your client delivery unless you are a super dad/mom who can multitask.

Organizations can't send a nanny to everyone's home but they will try to do something so that your children stay engaged.
Deloitte decided tk pay for online learning/classes worth 20K for each employee. Others are also probably doing something similar or better.

When did you know your firm wasn't right for you? I'm not sure if it's just the stress of being a new attorney with a family or if my job isn't the right fit. I work in civil litigation and am consistently below my billables. I can't stay late because my kids need me and I can't work on the weekends because I have to maintain my house and take care of my kids. I'm being constantly told to work harder, stay later, etc but it's not practical. Or am I not approaching this with the right mindset?

How does everyone bill for family law matters? Do you always bill hourly or is there some flat fee, monthly or quarterly fee structure that could work, even in contested matters? I have cases that the clients end up spending $20-$40,000 on a contested divorce and this is really out of their budget. I feel that if my firm could charge a flat fee of $10-$15,000, it would still be beneficial from a client predictability and volume standpoint and would generate more referrals.
