[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had 3 APs and  all worked 45 hours a week. I had no idea others didn't.  I'm a single-mom-teacher and i needed every minute of that 45 hours. [/quote]

Well now you know. It’s very common for APs to work only before and aftercare, far less than 45 hours. [/quote]

HFs require APs for different reasons and schedule are widely different. Working 20h split schedule is not for all APs. My AP is very outgoing and I have met a dozen of her APs friends.
She works split schedule, less than 45 hours, however most of her friends work 45h, 8-5pm everyday, no weekend and they love it (they take core of smaller kids). They love being off after 5pm and not worrying about working on weekend and they also love taking care of smaller kids. My AP has a split schedule and works less but she is off around 730-8pm. I think she will actually prefer working 8-5pm to hang out with her friends. But she doesn't complain. Also she has two friends who do mostly drive duties, they like but told me it is hard because the kids are older and don't usually care for the AP. So many APs actually prefer working 8-5pm, other split schedule and other driving duties. What matters is that they are aware of their schedule before matching.

So don't make other HMs feel bad because you need/want your AP to work less hour. If HMs follow the rules (no more than 45h) while treating their APs well, they shouldn't have to apologize for that! All APs can't have the same schedule and same perks![/quote]
