[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP - the only way to make an AP work for your family per all the PPs are 1) you and DH figure out how to flex your hours or 2) You need an additional mother's helper at the very least.
We went from 25-30 hours a week to 45 hours this year when we added a baby to our family. Our older kids are already in elementary school with a 7-3pm out of the house. DH and I really thought long and hard whether to get an AP (our 5th) the year. We decided to do it and we've ended up with a rockstar despite needing the full 45 hours. We were very upfront in our profile. Most importantly, because we both have flexibility with or work schedule, DH works from home in the am and then leaves for work 3 days a week at 11am. I leave early on those days after feeding the baby and dropping off the older ones at school. DH puts baby due for a morning nap around 8:30 and works in the home office. AP starts at 11. Picks up the older kids from school at 3pm and finishes at 6:30 to go to school.[/quote]
