[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you exepect him to do for the 30 minutes he is back home? It seems like all he has time to do is shower and get dressed. He wakes up at 5:45 to start his day. You get up at 7:30. Adjust your time and wake up earlier. No excuse getting to work late. Just get up early! Daycare is open by then[/quote]

No, I leave the house at 7:30.  If he gets home at 7:15, I expect him to do a few of the following activities- change DS, take DS to potty, brush DS teeth, get DS dressed, help DS put on socks and shoes, help DS put on coat, load DS into car. [/quote]

I would be honest that you won't be able to keep this job of you can't get some flexibility either to get in much earlier or stay late.  Say something like "Since PT is part of your job and even though you come home to shower and get ready for work, I should really treat it as continous on the clock - like you leave 5:45am and return 6:00pm - we need to find a solution to fit that reality and it can't be me doing everything dropoff and pick-up related and working full-time at an inflexible job.  Let's find a solution together, do we change to an in-home day care closer to the house and get a mother's helper to help our son get ready in the morning so I can leave for work before you get back from PT, do we look into an au pair, do we change to a daycare closer to your job so you can do the drop off?  Is PT available at your job so you can leave earlier and do pickup? I'm open to any suggestion that would reduce the work I'm doing getting out in the morning or that would allow me to stay later for work in the evening."[/quote]
