[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I WAH.  I often have to get them to activities by 4:45 or 5pm.  They get home from school at 3.50pm.

They need to eat prior too.  90 min of sports.

Many early release days, school events, etc.  it would be hard as hell if I WOH--not to mention weather closures.

If you can WAH, it's feasible.  If not--Id need to drop part-time at a minimum.[/quote]

It doesn't have to mean going straight to the bench!

Explore WAH or part-time options.

WAH has been a savior for me.[/quote]

I WAH and feel extremely fortunate to have this set-up; makes life so much easier for after school activities.  I have an ES school child, who swims a couple times a week during the winter and all summer, and I'm able to get to where he needs to be.  Also makes school pick-up easier, and he can eat a snack before swim.  I wish more companies would offer a WAH option, as you do have more time during the day to work because you're not commuting, and more time to spend with your family.  My situation is an anomaly where I work, since I work for a large defense contractor so I'm very careful to not take advantage.

To the poster who thinks having school aged children and working FT is easy must have help and other resources.  Having one child who is active is hard enough, I can't imagine working FT and having to manage multiple children's activities; something will fall through the cracks.[/quote]
