What kind of job could this be? And why have a baby?

You are the same people that didn't GAF that women were put out of work because of schools closures. Setting women back because it hurts your feeling that they dare have careers that help all of us.

Go pound sand.

This is such a bizarre and hostile response. And I don't even get why you are connecting the pp with school closures.

Because posters like 17:32 get all giddy at thought of women not being in the workforce. They were thrilled to watch women lose employment during the pandemic because schools were closed. Just like the OP is asking if someone that works odd hours should even have the right to procreate.

We are allowed to be more than broodmares. We can have careers and give to the larger community, something I am sure you know nothing about.

Hyperbolic much? OP said nothing specifically about women working or anything about people not having the right to procreate. In fact the OP said BOTH of his/her parents worked all the time.

Men could stay home and raise kids, too.

And was extremely upset about her parent's choices.

I really dont see an issue here (except in trying to find a nanny for these hours). I mean, someone needs child care fro 5- 9 am and then from 4-7 pm. 7 hrs/day. They could be home with kid from 9 am to 4 pm?? When I went back to work our nanny was with our child 8:30 am to 5ish. and that was typical.

It sounds like the parent is a bus driver.

MYOB. I work 80 hours plus a week with 2 kids.

It’s likely a doctor, lawyer or other professional who has the child in daycare during the day. I have au pairs, and this split schedule is not unusual.

It’s a cheap way to cover a long day since you don’t have to pay overtime. Most nannies won’t take a job with these hours.

+1, they probably just want some extra help. That's unlikely to be a primary childcare set up. Fir a lot of families, mornings and evenings are crazy crumch time and they just want someone to help with kids so they can shower/exercise/make dinner/nurse am infant/spend a little 1:1 with an older kid.

It's the way a grandparent might help out if the lived near and were so inclined-- not as a nanny but just another caregiver to help on the margins.

You can take your kids with u if you’re a bus driver. It’s the reason some people do it.

Yeah but many people would prefer their kids to not have to spend hours driving around in a bus all day just to be physically close to a parent (who needs to be focused on all the other kids and the road). You can have your priorities that physical proximity is most important, for me its that my kid doesn't spend hours in a car every day

It sounds like a SAHM that needs an extra hand in the morning routine to kid multiple kids out the door to multiple places. The nanny would stay and watch the baby at home while the mother tends to the others until they are in school. Then the mom comes home to care for the baby. The nanny comes back in the afternoon so that mom can pick up kids and take them to afterschool activities and tend to homework while the baby is being cared for. Maybe the baby is sickly, maybe too many kids to juggle at once, maybe mom needs a break from baby. Either way, I do not see an issue here. If it doesnt work for you, that is ok.

A lot of moms would like this coverage but it's pretty hard to find and expensive. My BIL and his wife ended up hiring two part-timers to cover the split shift.

It would be difficult with commuting unless this was a live-in.
