[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I run a not for profit board and I’ve desperately tried to move meetings earlier and am met with resistance and inability to join the board due to needing to be home to put kids to bed. The board meets once a month, roughly 7-9 times a year. I have kids. Unless you don’t have a partner around (in which case, you’d already need a sitter to serve on the board anyway) I am utterly baffled by not being able to depend on your partner 7-9 times a year to handle bedtime alone. I hate starting the meetings late in the evening cause then it’s very late by the time I get home and I feel like I have not been able to unwind from the day at all. [/quote]

I think it's not about "not being able" to depend on your partner, it's about preferring to be home for bedtime. The way you "prefer" to be home earlier and have time to unwind.

I'm one of the people who prefers later meetings so I can see my kids, have dinner together, and do bedtime. That would be particularly true about something recurring like that happening almost monthly. That being said, if they were earlier, my husband would do bedtime. It's a preference not a requirement.
