[quote=Anonymous]Something has to give. One of you needs a job with greater flexibility, or you need to tag team schedules. Ie: one goes in super early (by7am) and the other goes in at 9 or 9:30 so that one can get home at a reasonable time. Best to make these schedule adjustments in place now bc once your kid is old enough for school and after school activities one of you will need to be home to get the homework done, feed them dinner, and get to the activity (ccd, sports, ballet, music, whatever). Trust me, I have four kids (including a baby) and dh and I both work (I'm a lawyer). Flexibility is key. Saying you have a demanding job is a cop out....you need to fix the problem. If you think it's hard with a baby, just wait until you have to deal with school, activities and lining up childcare for the summer (camps are expensive, and their hours are typically shorter than your work day). Post back with specific questions if you like, and I will happily share my Good Times approach to juggling work and parenting (keeping your head above water, making a wave when you can...)[/quote]
