[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grow up. You had a family. Move her aftercare to the Y, they close at 6:30. Then rearrange your schedules so that someone gets her by 6:30. That's what the rest of us do. [/quote]

Maybe they are police officers or other shift workers who don't have much control over hours.[/quote]

Working in downtown DC and living in Arlington?  Doubt it.[/quote]

ER docs then?[/quote]

ER docs have huge flexibility in what shifts they take, including only working 12 shifts a month.

The OP is just looking for ways to not disrupt her schedule at her child's expense.[/quote]

Uhm, this totally depends on what stage of their career they're in. You really think all ED docs can just say "I'll take the 9-6 3 days a week?" Who do you think opts for the shorty overnight, partial overnight, weekend, etc shifts? Also, while in training (which lasts until about 35 if you're fellowship trained), you work WaY more than 12 shifts a month. Just FYI. I say this all as the wife of a peds ED fellow. It's nice that he can get a particular day off in a way that I. Can't, but a totally routine/usual schedule of daytime hours? Not even a little.[/quote]
