[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine is a partner in big law. When his kids were young, he had a hard stop in the office at 5pm. From 5-8pm, he was unavailable. He would get online at 8pm and finish whatever work he needed to do. He clearly communicated his boundaries, people understood and respected them.[/quote] It's unfortunate this isn't the norm.[/quote] Unless you are working on a different time zone or a very intense job that better pay waaaay more than OP’s husband is making you don’t have to make an announcement. You just log off at 5, let anyone who you are working with know you will be back on at 8. If you do a good job, no one cares. My husband is also a partner and he does this 6-8:30. I work a more flexible job, sign off no later than 4 but get back on when I need to. But OP’s husband doesn’t get to work out every morning and not help ever with drop off and pick up. That’s ridiculous when OP has to scramble to do lunch time workouts. He needs to take the kids to school at least 2x per week. And maybe get evaluated for ADHD. [/quote] +1 I make way more than OP DH but this is what I do. Sign off at 5 and check email and catch up after 8. It's one of the upsides of the young kids bedtime and schedule.[/quote]
