[quote=Anonymous]I telework 4 days a week. We have one car and DH’s office is typically 25 mins (give or take - as little as 15 and as much as an hour with traffic variation).

I get up with toddler about 6:30 while 6 year old and DH sleep in. Give her breakfast, get her dressed, play. About 7:20 DH and older DD are up. By then DH showers while I pack lunches, do children’s hair, etc. I’d LIKE to be ready to log in when they leave the house at 8:25 for 8:30 school day but more often still need to shower and get dressed. I assume after drop offs my DH’s day starts about 9 am which is when mine does too. That means our days go to about 5:45 (8 hrs, 45 min lunch breaks). I break sooner to get food in the oven or pick up take out etc. then get back to work. They walk in about 6:15 / 6:30 and I’m logging out and we eat by 6:45. Sometimes this is all 30 mins earlier which I far prefer and am working on ways to get day earlier. On my commute day it’s 1.5 hrs for me each way. I leave at 7, pack lunches night before if I can, or DH does lunches and I work 8:30-5:15 and am home about 7.

I’m a fed (mid-level / non-management) and my DH is a research scientist for a private company. [/quote]
