[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two fed couple also - one of you really needs to look for a more flexible place.  They are definetly out there!  AWS/RDO and flextime are great and really help out with managing it all.  Have either of you thought of looking, even if it's a lateral, to a place with more flexibilty?

They really do help, but lots of offices are a bit hamstrung by hiring freezes and are understaffed these says, so end up limiting flex schedules to have enough coverage during core duty hours. I work for DOD and flex schedules were really common a couple years ago, not so much now (also difficult to administer during furloughs because they come with a strict 8 hour work day limit). As a DOD employee telework's also not an option (need access to secure computers), which is a drag. So, I can totally see how OP would be stuck in an inflexible office. And there just aren't that many jobs to move to, these days in some career fields.  My DH and I are thinking about having one quit our federal job and look for private sector work both for the flexibility and for the income boost.[/quote]
