[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone do a 6am - 2 pm schedule? I’m wondering if it will be manageable with a 1 hour commute. I’ll miss seeing my kids in the morning but it would be nice to have the entire afternoon and evening off and have focused time with them.

Right now, I’m often on calls until 5:30 (even though my schedule ends at 4:30) and then finishing up emails until about 6. I am hoping to get on a 6-2 schedule and actually follow it. Not sure how realistic this is.[/quote]

I am on this schedule with an hour commute each way. 4am wake up does suck, but I am in bed by 8pm with kids….so it is completely doable. DH drops them off at school and I get them off the bus by 3pm ish. I can’t wait for the summer to start with camp and extended camp hours 😳…..[/quote]

We have a similar schedule where DH is doing the early shift and me late which will work, except for when we work travel.  I have travel next month actually and need to figure out how we can get someone to come to our house at 5am and then drop kids at before care when it opens so DH can go to work and not take leave.  His commute is 1-1.5 hours each way.  Even in the before Covid times managers were good about granting situational telework for occasional situations like this.  No longer.[/quote]

For Magas who want people to have as many babies as possible, these schedules are SOOO not family friendly.[/quote]

MAGAS want women staying at home, churning out babies, while their husbands work in the private sector. They don’t want men taking care of children, or doing anything “home” related.[/quote]
