[quote=Anonymous]We live in NW DC and I would say probably 2/3 of the houses have two WOH parents. Teachers don't expect parents in classrooms. They give ample heads up for field trips/parties so parents can arrange their work time.

OP-- I work full time and am the breadwinner. We did this because my husband is a fed with a very non-flexible schedule. I worked long hours for many frustrsting years as a fed so I could get a private sector position which would give me flexibility and good pay. We have 4 kids (ES and MS). Even with my flexible job I have only been able to do the Halloween parade. We weren't even able to swing conferences due to my work travel. This is just how it is. I put my kids into extended aftercare because there is no gurantee one of us will be he by 6:00. We order in too much and don't do any weekday after school activities. Our weekends mean sports on Sat. but strict family time on Sunday. It is a bit crazed but we have a great life. I have amazing kids and love my little family. [/quote]
