[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look it sounds like you are working at 4 to 5:30, not being there for your kids. Which is fine. But it sounds like you are rushing to go in super early and leave super early, only to come home and work until 5:30.

My advice would be to either:

1. get a job that lets you truly finish at 3:30 that isn't client dependent or doesnt' have emergencies after 3:30 (which means a paycut, possibly) OR
2. Work a little later a couple days a week (And maybe go in a little later those days) and maybe find someone to help with your kids after school on those days. It sounds like they take the bus so you dont' need someone to drive them which is the hardest thing to find. Around here (FFX county) jr high and high schools get out before elementary so maybe you could find a responsible teen in your neighborhood to meet your kids and get them started on homework and give them a snack.

3. Put your kids in aftercare. You seem to be on this mad rush to get home when your kids do, but what's the point if they're just on screens while you work?[/quote]
