[quote=Anonymous]WOHP how do you navigate/negotiate daycare pick up when you start a new job? My last role was very flexible so I could get the kid comfortably before 530 pick up time. I'm starting a new, faster pace job. I'm excited career wise but dreading the conversation on the first day of "BTW I need to bolt at 5 to get kid". I'm in a new industry which is less family friendly so I'll be the odd mom out not going to happy hours (unless I can have my 9 mo old strapped to my chest in her carrier at the bar...seems like a bad idea). How would you approach it? I want to seem professional and a go getter, but I still have family responsibilities. I'm unfortunately the default parent as I have the shorter commute. Also, locked into a contract for daycare for a few months, luckily, it's only 2 miles from new job. [/quote]
