[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our oldest just started kindergarten and I am very quickly understanding how schools plan commitments often during the work day. My DD had orientation at 10am two Fridays ago and tomorrow she has back to school "night" bash from 3:30-5pm.

I only have 10 days PTO per year. DH works at a late stage start up, but no one else on his team has kids including his boss. Our friends' kids are all still infants/toddlers so I'm hoping to crowd source here from veteran working parents.

I'm genuinely wondering how you handle school activities with your job. Do you say hey my kid has xyz, can I duck out an hour early? Do you use your PTO? How many things do you try to make it to?[/quote]

We need to dig more into your DH situation. He refuses to use his leave because no one else has kids?[/quote]

I just attended my kindergarten’s 9 am on a weekday “meet the teacher”/open house event. There are 20 kids in my child’s class. 16 moms and 2 dads (one with their spouse and one as the sole attending parent) showed up.

This is not an issue specific to OP’s DH.[/quote]
