[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a single dad who runs a large department. I am absolutely out the door at 5. And I am pretty flexible when it comes to getting work done. The big thing is results. Good managers know this. Paranoid managers or under performing managers use facetime as a metric to cull the herd and cover their own poor performance.

What I will say is suddenly becoming a single parent of small children has fundamental changed my views of feminism, work place discrimination and the "mom" tax so many women pay. It is the one good thing I can point to when I think about my situation.[/quote]

5 is completely different than 3:30. School in MoCo ends at 3:45 (most schools), an hour, hour and a half of aftercare is not harmful. My daughter gets a snack, recess, does homework, and then had more free time with her friends.

An alternative work schedule where one parent works and leaves early is also acceptable, but you are kidding yourself if you want to get ahead and leave at 3:30 each day.[/quote]

I work from 8 to 3:30, and my husband works from 7 to 3.

We're doing fine.  not looking to be on anyone's radar - We both want to be there for the kids.  [/quote]
