[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 4 kids and I work an 80% schedule (4 8hr days). My kids are 8, 7, 3, and 15m. I have a nanny share for the baby (nanny splits her time between 2 houses) and the older 3 are in school 8:15-3:30.

I work 6:30-4. DH does mornings and I am home when they get home from school. DH also works full time, often long hours but he has flexibility.

I schedule as many appts as possible for Fridays (my day off) and that's also when I do my errands and other stuff. Nanny works until 12 on Fridays so I am kid-free until then. I even make it to the gym sometimes!

I have a lot of friends who work with 3+ kids. Its hectic but we all seem to manage.[/quote]

FWIW - I am a federal atty and my DH works in the private sector. I am also able to work from home often which really helps.[/quote]

How long is your and DH's commute to work? Is your job relatively relaxed or you have a lot of deadlines to meet?[/quote]

I work from home a lot but my office commute is 30 mins in the AM and close to an hr in the PM. DH works all over but when he goes to the office its 45-60 mins away (MD to VA)[/quote]
