[quote=Anonymous]We have the reverse situation - I work 10-12 hour days in the office, and my husband works from home. I arrange care, fill out all the forms, and handle summer camps. We split pick-up/drop-off as it makes the most sense with our respective schedules. He is responsible for sick kid pickups, ferrying to doctors' appointments/some activities, and nearly anything involving a late start/early departure. He works an 8 hour day with no commute; I commute 2 hours and work a 9-10 hours day. I don't think it's unfair to ask that he help out in this respect. I make a lot more money than he does. I don't say this as the money makes me more important, but, in terms of what job we impact with time-off requests, it makes more sense to do that with the one that, if we lost, it would be easier to replace and have less impact on our budget.[/quote]
