[quote=Anonymous]I don't quite understand the people suggesting the OP should move. In this housing market, that could take months or even a year, and they could lose a ton of money. My DH and I both have hour+ commutes, but there is NO WAY we could afford to sell our house and buy another, much less within any reasonable amount of time. I also think that, for many families, the financial hit of reduced hours is no more feasible than moving. OP, I think you should come up with a solid plan re work - say arriving/leaving 1hr earlier or telework, and then ask. The worst they can do is say no, right? If that fails, I agree with the others that 11hrs in daycare isn't ideal, but won't harm your child. Start there and then start working on more long-term solutions (like moving, changing jobs, or cutting your budget so you can cut your hours). Good luck![/quote]
