[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see why he's sad. That schedule would make me sad too. Can you move the double shift to one weekday so the whole family can spend Saturday together? That's what I would do. I work PT too but it's all during the weekdays.[/quote]

Op here. Not possible right now. The FT person works 8-4 pm Monday - Friday. I think during the holidays it's been hard because they don't have activities. On both Saturday and Sunday, they have an activity..not soccer or anything like that which I would attend. I am off Friday and Sunday evenings starting from 4pm..i may get a nanny cam so I can interact with them from my phone when they are watching TV..I know they watch a lot of TV when I am away. I take them out more than dh so I think they like that [/quote]

Can I ask why you're doing this?  If you can't afford quality childcare, then that's understandable, and you need to be honest about that with your kid.

Some people can afford "quality childcare" but they would rather do it themselves. It sounds straight toward me. She wants to work PT and this is the schedule that allows it. Lots of families do this. [/quote]
