[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you move closer to work? I would not commute 90 min per way. [/quote]

People move all the time for jobs — this seems like an obvious solution.  However I strongly suspect that OP wouldn’t be happy in the office three days per week even with a 20-minute commute.  [/quote]

Op here. I think I’d be okay with three days in the office with a shorter commute (especially long term - once my youngest is in prek for example). I’m going to look for jobs with a 20-40 minute commute closer to home. Moving isn’t an option for a multitude of reasons and I have no desire to move closer to where my office is located. A lot of moms work at my office and live in the suburbs and they all have to go in three days a week, so there’s no sympathy and there is resentment for those with remote arrangements (which I get.)

Since one day a week isn’t an option I wanted to gut check that I’m not crazy for feeling this way - that it’s not worth spending the equivalent of an entire work day (9 hours) commuting each week at the expense of being around for my kids, since that is important to me. [/quote]

I think looking for a new job is the way to go here. Even if you take a pay cut, I think you will be better off. [/quote]
