[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you move kid drop off and do the phone call at home?[/quote]

Drop-off is a 15 minute window during the call. If I had cell phone reception all the way home, I could do it, but the reception drops 10 minutes out, so there's a gap in connectivity. With all companies, unfortunately.[/quote]

How old are your kids?  Is there a school bus option?[/quote]

She's only 5. DH isn't cool with the bus yet (and I agree).[/quote]

Ok, my sympathy is fully at an ebb now.

You have shot down every suggestion made and are now self-inflicting this pain. Your kid can ride the bus ONE day a week if absolutely won't speak up and say that 0700 is a conflict. She will be fine, I promise.

It's a ridiculous ask, unless this is some project sprint or something.  And there are 20 people? There's no way this is crucial.

Frankly, your manager is probably going to feel like a huge jerk when she realizes that she told you to "make it work" with a deployed spouse and 5 year old.  [/quote]
