[quote=Anonymous]For the people we know who have kids and two working parents, across the board, one of the parents has a very flexible job (part time, work for family business, work at home, work early hours to get out at noon). Nobody we know has both spouses leaving the house at 7:00, commuting an hour by metro/car, working 8.5 hrs, commuting back 1hr, and getting home 5:30/6:00p.m. Basically, all you would be doing is making dinner and putting the kids to bed (if they are younger). We didn't have that set up (of great flexibility), so the higher earner kept working and the other runs the house/kids/school. It's a reciprocal relatioship, but it would be nice if one of us had the flexible or part time schedule. There are a lot of school activities/needs/days off/events. [/quote]
