Welcome to The Objectionable Mom
|
I'm Melissa and this is my space to share stories about being a mom, a lawyer, and everything in between.
I hope that by sharing my stories, and those of other lawyer moms, we can not only laugh together, but also find support amongst each other. My goal is to help you be productive as a lawyer and happy as a mom. |

A Lawyer MomI'm a Cuban American lawyer
living and practicing in South Florida, and a mother of 3 kids under the age of 8. I love brunch, playing with my kids outside on a sunny day, & having honest, real convos with girlfriends about how we are getting through EVERYTHING. I get it and I want you to know, you are not alone in this. (Also, mimosas, am-I-right?!?) |

Be Better For YOUR Family
Be Better For OUR Profession
|
There is a lot of pressure on us to do everything RIGHT in every position we hold: as moms, as partners in our law firms, as partners in our marriages or relationships, as PTA members, as head chair in trial, as Room Parent, as associates, as breastmilk suppliers, as chefs, bakers, unofficial therapists, tutors, bubble bath makers, bedtime story readers, & Lord-knows-how-many-other-titles we hold in and out of our offices.
Can we admit that we don't have to do all of these things, let alone do them all perfectly? Happiness does not mean perfection, and gratitude is always stronger than anxiety. Through these stories, I hope you can discover the importance of taking care of yourself so that you can be a better mom for your family, and a better lawyer for our profession. |
