[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why exactly does your work from home husband not do any of this?! He can’t take them to school or pick them up?

Also 7-6? How long are your work hours? In the US we work 8/8.5 hour day. You could easily work 7-3:30 or 8-4:30. It is your choice to work these long hours. And it seems you both are! [/quote]

Lots of jobs require you to work more than 8.5 hours per day. As an attorney, my day is 10 hours minimum.  Most are somewhere in the ballpark of 12-15. Not my “choice” per se, just what I need to do to stay employed. [/quote]

LOL. It is absolutely your choice to work 10 hours a day. There are government or in-house positions that do not require that. And there is tons more WFH flexibility after the pandemic.

I really do not understand people who prioritize $$ and are willing to put their young child in group care for that long. Both DH and I work FT but we have never needed more than 30 hours of care. Even 40 is fine. But 50??[/quote]

Sorry, some of us have more ambition than you and your slacker spouse. [/quote]

Is that supposed to make me feel sad? We somehow managed to cobble together a 7-figure HHI. And still were able to spend tons of time with our kids. When you are sufficiently in demand you can flex your schedule. [/quote]
