[quote=Anonymous]After trying unsuccessfully to juggle two careers that both include travel without extended-family support (or salaries sufficient to hire full-time help ; ), my husband and I have decided that it makes sense for me to ask to reduce my hours at work. While having a child with special needs is not the only reason, it feels like the factor that tips us “over the edge.” I naively thought the number of specialists, appointments, etc. would somehow decrease as years went by, but it seems to be the opposite. If you have made a similar decision, did you mention your child when asking to cut back? I can’t go below 75% without loosing healthcare eligibility, so I plan to ask to go to four days. I believe my company values me enough to allow me to do it, but I would be the first person in a non-admin role to do so. Thank you very much for any advice you might have on asking at work as well as any unintended consequences you may have encountered! [/quote]
