[quote=Anonymous]Your wife is a lunatic. It may be because of the hormones and being lonely, but she’s being crazy nonetheless. Working 5-10 extra minutes after 5pm every day, and having a 5 hour block of commitment (in lieu of flying to the west coast for four days) once a quarter does not make for a “less flexible job doing a stressful time” as another poster suggested. Your wife is currently on mat leave and should be able to figure out two kids for one day. You already do morning drop off normally. There is a zero percent change your wife is going back to work, just to warn you. She can’t handle a single snow day with two kids, so she sure isn’t going to handle balancing two kids and a job. Plan accordingly. And know that all the help you hire now she’ll insist on keeping when she continues to stay home. [/quote]
