[quote=Anonymous]I used vacation time (but had more than you). If your job lets you make up time at night, you might ask for that option. Just beCause your husband is the only one with kids, he should ask too. It is 2023 and employers need to evolve. My sister changed jobs so she could get on a school system schedule (same holidays, snow days, etc). Most of us don’t have that option. Usually the woman’s career suffers (if she is the lowest paid spouse), as well as her lifetime earnings. I stayed at a backwater organization, instead of an impressive one, because they were more family friendly. That was my priority. Others hire a nanny who attends all such functions, but I always felt bad for those kids. Early childhood goes by fast, and it is precious. Life is full of trade offs. Good luck to you guys. [/quote]
