[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are expecting in a few months and after my maternity leave will both be working full time. DH goes into the office pretty early (arrives by 7:30) and doesn't take a lunch, so most days he is able to head home around 3:30 which means he can do pickup and afternoons. I will be 100% responsible for mornings and will be moving a lot of meetings to make that possible. He has a standing weekly meeting with a couple of coworkers that ends closer to 4:30, meaning one day a week I would need to be on both AM and PM duty. He feels that it is not reasonable to disrupt any work meetings for childcare. How can I help him understand that he is going to need to get comfortable figuring out how to integrate childcare responsibilities with work? Or do I just need to suck it up and accept this?

FWIW, neither of us has a "bigger" job so we can't really prioritize one over the other; we're both mid-level, make the same amount of money, and work the same number of hours per week.[/quote]

What industry is chill about people kicking out at 330 even before they have kids. [/quote]
