[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think OP has come back to respond/answer any questions.
OP (if you are still reading) what kind of daycare is this that pick up has to be so early?  The best solution is to find a daycare that is open long enough hours to accommodate your ( plural-meaning both you and your husband) work schedule.   [/quote]
OP here. I didn't come back and respond because of all the dumb comments I saw telling me that I need to give up on my career, how dare I send my baby to daycare etc. The issue at hand is not daycare hours, rather that neither of us want the baby to be at daycare for 9+ hours.[/quote]

No one said that ("how dare you send your baby to daycare.")

So it IS possible for your baby to stay at daycare longer, you just don't want that?  And you think your Dh's co-workers and boss should accommodate what you want?

Get over yourself.    Seriously.   The world does not revolve around you and your baby.[/quote]
People actually did say that (not verbatim but that was the sentiment). Jeff just deleted those comments.[/quote]

Ok, well I didn't see them.
Regardless, it's inappropriate for OP to expect her Dh to do this.   She really expects him to ask all his co-workers to completely upend a schedule that has worked fine, and that they have planned their schedule around, because OP doesn't want her kid in daycare more than 9 hours a day?   Knowing that most of the people he will be requesting this of, either have their own kids in daycare 9 hours a day, or did when their kids were young?[/quote]

It's inappropriate for her to expect this, but not inappropriate for him to expect her to do essentially the same? [/quote]
