[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Picking up at 4pm daily seems unreasonably early for most careers. There is no way I can pick up prior to 6:15. Im rushing out the door at 6pm to grab them (and their daycare is in my building).

I manage a large number of people and we have a culture at work the requires in-office presence (which I prefer). People with children shouldn’t get special perks to leave early or reschedule on the backs of their childless coworkers. [/quote]

I don’t think your schedule of rushing out at 6 pm is typical either and there are plenty of us that work more flexible schedules kids, and in many workplaces that is fine.

Op I work an early schedule like your husband and I do understand the difficulty of asking to switch when you are leaving on such an early end even when you work the hours. 3:30 is just early and I do have to adjust a reasonable amount of time to meet coworkers scheduling needs as well. That being said for a standing meeting that it is internal, he can casually say would you all mind after the baby comes if we move this to xx? He doesn’t have to say it is to do pick up, I usually leave that out. Folks will get the gist and be fine [/quote]
