[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue for me is the 8-6 in office requirement.  Right now, I work 8-5, pick up my kids, and then work a few more hours at home in the evening.  Daycare closes at 6 and I have a 45 minute commute, so I'm not sure what I will go if the 8-6 requirement goes into effect.  [/quote]

Right. I  think that is what the childcare threads are talking about. It’s not lack of childcare it’s the commutes along with the 8-6pm requirement. If before care and aftercare is from 7:30-6 and my commute is an hour it doesn’t work. [/quote]

It works if there are TWO responsible parents. you stagger your days: DH does drop off and gets home later; DW does pickup and gets home earlier. When my kid was little and in daycare I left for work at 7:45, worked from 830-5, picked him up by 530, home by 6:15. DH dropped him off in the morning, got to the office later, and worked pretty late (maybe until 730 or so most nights).

Later on we got a part-time babysitter for after school so that made it even easier - we would stagger drop off at 8:30 and then the other just needed to be home around 6-630.[/quote]

You clearly didn't read the post you're responding to. If there is an 8-6 requirement, you can't stagger schedules, there is no flexibility. And aftercares around us close at 6. They're not open until 6:30 or 7 so you can commute home for pickup.

I don't think an EO could just declare a 50 hour work week for feds though. I could be wrong, I could be wrong about a lot of stuff, but I think things like RTO and fixed hours are possible to change that quickly, a 25% increase in unpaid working hours is not. [/quote]
