[quote=Anonymous]OP here-- this is really helpful.  DH is in a job where he has a ton of flexibility for about 4 months of the year, but almost no flexibility at other times.  So, it isn't nearly as bad when we are in his down cycle, but a nightmare when he is busy.  I really appreciate all the tips on how to frame things.  I spend almost 90 minutes a day commuting, so cutting that out would help a lot.  Also, since my job is so far from our house, it makes it a huge time suck to need to go into the kids' school for something or take them to the doctor.  Being able to work from home on the days I have those things would actually allow me to get more work done.  I'm going to work on a proposal based on all of the suggestions here.

One follow up question for those of you who can work from home-- are all employees allowed to do it or only some?  Some of the push back to flexibility in the past has been that if they let one person do it, then they have to let everyone.  (I'm the only employee with young children.)[/quote]
