[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you able to telework? That might free up more time to see your kids (instead of commuting).

I too have a fed job and am thinking of giving it up. It's soooo inflexible. I MUST work 8:30-5 (get dinged if I come in at 8), can't telework and I just got told that I can't take Easter week off to visit family because ONE other person is off during that time. Just not family friendly at all. [/quote]

This is my situation also. Many fed jobs are completely inflexible. OP, maybe you could go part time? The most important thing is what your spouse thinks, not what DCUM thinks.[/quote]

This is my situation, too. I honestly have my "dream job" -- doesn't pay a fortune, but pays quite well and has a lot of cool benefits, is intellectually challenging, etc.  But the commute and the hours suck -- the forced "45 minute lunch break" is the worst part.  I end up spending almost 9-hour days at work, plus over 2 hours total commuting each day... I'm just not sure how much longer I can keep it up, and am also considering becoming a SAHM.  I know it's not the best long-term solution, but I'm just so exhausted and our household is so chaotic.[/quote]
