[quote=Anonymous]My husband started a new job recently and I pushed him to let them know before he took the job that he would need to leave by 5 at least 3 days/week to pick up the kids. We trade off whole days doing pickup/dropoff b/c of car reasons. They said sure and it has worked fine. I realize not everyone necessarily has the bargaining power to get an arrangement like this, but until large numbers of men AND women start asserting that they SHOULD be able to both work and see their children for more than 30 minutes an evening, our culture's ridiculous default face-time expectations will not change. The idea that you "can't have it all," meaning you can't both spend time with your kids and work, is not some kind of unchanging law of the universe. [/quote]
