[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here.  Some parents are going to be okay with leaving early once a week, others would be outraged even if on a temporary basis.  It just depends on them, their schedule constraints (how easy is it for the WAH MB to finish work 1.5 hours early?), their personalities (easy-going or particular), the age of the kids and so on.

OP, if your work performance record is not spotless, and it sounds like it isn't if you have previously asked for schedule accommodation, don't be surprised if this request comes back to haunt you.  Just because your bosses have accommodated up to this point, they might be annoyed by it and this might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.  We once had a nanny who made similar requests to yours and eventually, I got tired of them and decided to let her go once my daughter started preschool although our original plan had been to keep her.  You are probably very focused on YOUR needs and thinking 1.5 hours once a week is not a big deal, but it can be HUGE to your MB.  Try to look at the situation from your MB's point of view.  If you can avoid asking for yet-another-accommodation, you should.  Unless your bosses have unlimited reserves of patience, they might already be fed up with you.[/quote]

Op here 
Thank you for your perspective. 
In a previous comment I stated. At they had been accommodating to me, but it wasn’t a bunch of times. I just couldn’t stay late because I had nice classes. Which wasn’t an issue because they only need me until 5. I also asked months in advance that I had to leave early 2 Times because of finals. 
I have been much more accommodating to them than they have to me. Which doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be ok with this request. MB can finish her work early. I know she can because most of the time she spends 3-4 hours a day watching tv, etc [/quote]
