[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I get to the office at 7, and am available by phone and email anytime.

But consensus is 3:30 is too early?[b] Kids being in aftercare till 5 seems like crazy long day.

Ok, new question, how do I ramp up my career so DW can stay home? I came from a small town and my parents were barely lower middle class -- I really have no idea how to hustle especially now that we have kids? I worked hard early on but I thought a salary of 70k was amazing, bc my parents home cost less than that. There's been a hard lesson on how life is in 'real' world outside my dying home town.

We want to prioritize our kids, but need to have money to live off, and around here that means two working parents for those of us without 'BIG' career...[/quote]

It's not. tens of thousands of kids do this everyday. Some even to 6pm.   Kids often beg to be able to continue playing with their friends even after you show up to pick them up.[/quote]

Ridiculous.  Just because many kids have to stay at aftercare late to accomodate their parents' work schedules, doesn't mean this is good for them.  They've already had a long day at school.  They need to have downtime and alone time - neither of which they can get if they're staying at aftercare until 6pm.  [/quote]

"accommodate their parents work" wtf. Parents need to work to make money so the kids can survive and eat. Kids love aftercare. I personally think school should run for 8 hours just like a normal work day. 2 hours of recess would be great if that worked during those 8 hours. Kids need more physical activity and parents need more flexibility at work. [/quote]
