Wow.  You must have had a really flexible residency program to suggest maybe she can come in late and spend time with her child in the morning!  Typically this is when rounds occur.  [/quote]

No, that is not what I said; I did not say anything about being late to work.  My point was that young kids can be put on very different schedules so that parents can spend time with them.  Kids can be up, say, at 5 am and go down at 5pm.  Very young kids have late evening feeds.  Parents with different work schedules often put their kids on schedules that match their availability.  Some get up at 5 am and have time in the morning. Some kids are up at 10 pm at night and parents have quality time at night.  When your kid is in on-site care, you can also visit during work breaks.  This becomes harder when kids get older and have to be in school.  OP has a toddler, so she has more options about how to create time to spend with her child and she has no overnights.  She has options.

Your sarcasm and negativity aren't helpful.  Lots of parents have difficult jobs with weird hours or 24+ hour shifts or significant travel and they manage.  [/quote]
