[quote=Anonymous]My job is amazing.  They are so flexible.  My boss doesn't work in my office and he just cares that I get the job done.  It is SUCH a family friendly company.  I work 2 miles away from home.  It sounds like a dream, right?  It is, but sometimes I wish they weren't so flexible.  My husband's job is not as flexible.  (They understand family situations but not to the extent my company does).  Because of that I have to take a lot of hits.  I do it because I love my child but I wish at times my boss was as strict so I would HAVE to be at work in my office etc.  I do all the pick ups and drop offs because I am closer.  My husband is AMAZING and so helpful and a perfect father but there are certain things he can't help with because of work.  I'm the default parent.

Also, teleworking is hard. I want to kick my pre-kid self that silently judged my colleagues that were on conference calls while they were working from home and I heard their child.  I always thought that when my son was 1 and had the ability to go to daycare 2 or 3 days a week (up until 1 he had to go 5) I would work from home a day.  Not now.  I rather pay extra for daycare because I'd never get work done.  [/quote]
