[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The SAHM truly does not care what you are doing with your kids and their childcare.  This is all your insecurities being projected.  She is probably relieved you aren’t asking her to watch them or drive them anywhere.  But really…she likely never thinks about your kids’ childcare schedule or cares. [/quote]

And yet...there are plenty of SAHMs who post on DCUM all the time with their opinions about others' childcare schedules. So...[/quote]

I’ve been here a while and no.  Maybe if it pertains to them in some way like the working mom from across the street keeps dumping her kid at their house after school everyday and expects rides ..but randomly venting about some neighbors working schedule for no reason, no that isn’t happening here that I’ve seen [/quote]

There are posters in this thread who have said how bad they feel for the moms and kids!

Which btw you all sound so sanctimonious and condescending. Worry about your own selves![/quote]

Oh come on!  OP detailed her schedule and solicited a discussion about it.  PPs are responding.  That's totally different than suggesting that random neighbors are aware of each others' childcare hours and judging them.

[b]And FWIW, most of the posters suggesting that OP make a change sound like working moms who have made alternative arrangement work.  [/b]And a lot of those PPs (although admittedly not all) seemed to make those suggestions from a place of trying to help OP.   [/quote]

+1. If you are a mid-level to senior white collar desk worker, there is no reason you can’t carve out flexibility for yourself with a combination of good time management, delegation, and strategic role selection. That applies to hybrid OP and *especially* her fully remote DH.

The SAHM thing is a red herring. They don’t understand enough about the working world to really contribute to the discussion beyond saying they pity working people.[/quote]
