[quote=Anonymous]You should at least ask your employer if you can adjust your hours. I'm often amazed at what people are given just because they asked (in a well-thought out manner). A woman I work with got to tele-work for months after the birth of her first child - when hardly anyone was being allowed to telework. She just did her research and prepared a formal proposal. I don't know that her bosses really wanted to let her do it, but when presented the proposal it seemed that they suddenly felt like they couldn't say no. My DH and I shifted our schedules around so as to minimize time in daycare. But, still they are at daycare for 9-10 hours. Not long after my first was born, I was desparate to find a new job closer to home so I could spend more time with him and less commuting. But that didn't work out and got used to our arrangement.[/quote]
