[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dropped to 80% when we were in this situation so I could be there for pick up and after school activities. I've found that car time is a great opportunity to actually talk to my kids. A lot comes out in those conversations.[/quote] While I love my job, it would be very difficult for me to drop to 80% because while I'm in charge of my own hours, I am not able to just shut down my computer when I hit 40 for the week. I have to get done what needs to get done, and my fear is that I'd still work the same but be paid less. I do like car time so I currently make an effort to take my kids to school at least once a week, if not more. I also generally pick them up from evening activities (but the nanny takes them there, which saves me a few hours and lets me work a normal day). [/quote]
