[quote=Anonymous]"Because when you have full custody, you do drop off and pick up. Add in commutes, and you can squeeze in your 8.5 hours and still make pickup. To take extra time is to require a sitter. Or you have to be rich enough to have a nanny or au pair who will be willing to do the extra hours. You also tend not to know the other moms at daycare or aftercare enough to be able to trade caregiving on a random day. I knew a few daycare parents, but now my son's in K, I really don't know any of the parents at all. Never have the opportunity to see them.

If you're getting enough child support to be able to fart around when your kids are in school or in paid care, the dad probably also takes them sometimes so you can get out. But with no CS or father in the picture, you have to make it work to stay well employed. "

This was class-ist of me. I'm a professional, so as long as I get my work done, I can take a long lunch once in a while with no repercussions (and I do!).  If you're a lower level employee who must clock a certain amount of time daily, I can see your point.  My overall point was that if I were single, I wouldn't let time constraints from kids and job deter me. Then again, I have a high sex drive and high desire for romantic intimacy, so I prioritize having a relationship more highly than other women.[/quote]
