[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I both have careers and we have three kids.

1) Doctor and dentist appointments: Four half days a year
Dentist: I schedule them all on the same friday afternoon (my most flexible work time).  DH and I and all three kids get our dental work together.  We book the parents with one dentist and the kids who actually have shorter appointments with a second dentist.  Rotate everyone in and out of the waiting room. 
Doctor: I take the kids all on the same afternoon for their checkups, and I go to my doctor a separate day before or after work.

School events: Unless it is in the evening, I basically don't do those at all.  I have never been to a field day.  My kids have never had an adult at all at field day.  I go to all the evening concerts/plays/etc.

Morning and evening: My DH and I have always staggered our schedules.  One leaves early and starts work early, then does pick up and dinner.  Other does the morning routine and breakfast and works later.

Travel: We coordinate so there is always a parent home, but we both travel for work.  We just never do it on the same days. [/quote]
