I would actually love this schedule with elementary schoolers! Partner does drop-off in the morning, I have an hour or so between finishing work to putter and relax, than I can pick my kids up and not have to worry about aftercare, etc. Sure losing weekend mornings would be a trifle annoying but it would be worth it for being free all days after school.

Not at the cost of giving up half your Saturday.

You know millions of people work full days on weekends, right? All those people you see working aren’t childfree.

You know millions of people don’t work 6 days a week. All those people you see out have children or not.

So what’s your point? If those jobs are not for you - those jobs are not for you.

Such a limited mindset on this thread. When you see all the people working on weekends to serve you, do you think they’re all childfree?

So what’s your point, people choose all the time not to work 6 days a week but you are pissy that they don’t. No one has to work 6 days a week because some others do.
Knock yourself out working 6 or 7 days a week if you want. I’m not.

I’m not pissy about anything - in fact, I’m laughing at you! To turn up your nose at a 30 an hour a week job at $40 an hour plus healthcare and a car because of the horror of having to work half days on Saturday and Sunday (with Mondays off and one weekend a month off) is patently ridiculous!

So $40 an hour, five hours a day Tuesday thru Sunday, 6/7AM to 11AM/12PM. A leased car and car insurance for nanny personal and eventually work use; full healthcare coverage; two weeks off for vacation plus one weekend off a month. And all the pastries she wants.

Sound good now?

IRS considers that car taxable income.

The DCUM box continues to grow smaller and smaller.
