[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]

What a world we live in where a new dad apparently can't even ask if it's possible to move a standing meeting without being judged.  I feel very lucky to be in a job that puts families first - whether it's flexibility for kids, elder care, or other family.  And, we still manage to get a lot of work done.  [/quote]

He’s ALREADY leaving almost EVERY DAY at 330 pm. I think this is just the final straw of what he can pull off. [/quote]

The kid isn’t even born yet; he leaves that early by choice and apparently it is ok (and he is working a full day by getting in early). Are you saying it is unreasonable to ask to change the standing meeting?  If others can’t accommodate it, then they can go to plan B.  [/quote]
