[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^then you obviously have some oddball work situation that doesn't apply to 99.9% of the population. Congratulations. My reading comprehension is fine, by the way. You write novels. [/quote]

No I do not.  I work regular hours at a non-profit. I work from home once a week and in the office the rest of the time.  Pretty sure that my situation is extremely similar to many.

I also know many, many other parents who have non-regular hours and are able to[i] fit their work around their kids[/i] (as I made it clear above).  As for me, I have a spouse, which for some reason you don't seem to have considered.  Most of us have two people doing the parenting, don't we?  Or does that not apply to 99.9 percent of the population either?[/quote]

the key is a ) you won the charter lottery, so you are getting high quality school while living in a  cheap real estate market (ie, you won a freaking lottery) and b) it seems likely you are defrauding your employer by claiming to work while you are actually caring for young children on your WOTH day, or you have some very elaborate neighborohood babysiting co-op which covers the other 4 day of the week. that is not typical and would take enormous fortune for most people to find.

but housing and childcare. those are the big ones, and you basically have some unusual scenario that most people can't replicate even if they tried. realize you got lucky and be more gracious.[/quote]

Are you really this dumb? No I am not "defrauding" my employer.  My kids are at school while I work from home. And while I "won" the lottery, it didn't involve much luck. My kids school took every single kid who applied on my oldest's grade when he got in, after he transferred from another charter that also went all the way through it's waitlist when he got in there.  There are plenty of charter spots for those who need them if you are not snobs.[/quote]
