[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks OP is lucky to get home at 5:00?

I'm not saying she can't want to be at home but getting home at 5:00 is better than many jobs allow.[/quote]

OP here.  I realize that I could have it a lot worse.  I work part time (8:30 to 4:30 everyday with the random night and weekend thrown in) so I do get 2-3 hours in the evening, but those are tough times.  My kindergartener is grumpy and my 2 year old is grumpy so they end up fighting and crying.  I am also grumpy because I am trying to get dinner for them on the table, get them bathed, check and respond to emails (no they can't wait until after bed, that was part of my part time deal) and spend some quality time with both.

I am really thankful for the time I do have, but I would really, really like to have the option of staying home.

That being said its nice to know I'm not alone.  I also try to look on the positive side, we are financially secure, I have a wonderful husband who I love dearly, my kids are happy and healthy, and I have great friends and family.  [/quote]

What you are describing is not part-time by any stretch of the imagination.  Having to multi-task work with the kids around might actually be worse than not getting home until 6.[/quote]

Oh that's funny. Getting home at 6. I'm not the OP but I'm sure the alternative for her work is not getting home at 6. She might be a lawyer in an office where plenty of people either get home at 8/9 or go home earlier and are always available on email. [/quote]
