[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a great part-time job which I love.  I've been working part-time for over 5 years.  Now second is off to Kindergarten this Fall and I thought I could continue to work part-time and be home for kids by 3pm after school.  Not the case... my company is doubling in size and they said they want me to go full-time which would be [b]60 hours a week[/b].  I said I could do 35 maximum.  Although I love it here and what I do, I think its time to go.

When did you know it was time to leave?  And were you happy with your decision if you decided to stay home even after your kids were in school?  I'd love to find something else part-time but its tough.  [/quote]

Where I come from, full time is 40 hours per week.  To me, 35-40 would be a reasonable compromise.  If you do 60 hours per week, when would you see your kids?  I really think what your employer is asking for is out of line.  Any thought on approaching them about a job share?  Essentially make the position into (2) 30 hour a week positions?[/quote]

Where you come from? Where is that? Sounds like a nice reasonable place to live. I'd like to go there....[/quote]
