DH works irregular hours so he'll get home anywhere between 6 and 1 in the morning, or will work from home or have the day off -- depending on what he's covering for the paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work/page/2#post-240346 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 22:12:26 +0000 daniellemybelle 240346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now, we don't have kids, and our schedules can be crazy. I have a new job, and most days I work 8:30am-6:30pm, but it's gone as long as 8pm. DH has a busy season, and during that time (8 months out of the year) he works very long days and travels a lot. On the off season, he works from home and has a light schedule.</p> <p>When we have LOs, I would like to be a more flexible position or perhaps be a SAHM. I know DH would like to not work so much when we have kids, too, but one of us will probably have to have a busier schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work/page/2#post-240284 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:46:37 +0000 Minnie_Girl 240284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hours are different every day.

But he's off Wednesdays and Sundays. Which is nice because Wednesday's are daddy/daughter days. The rest of the week it's anywhere between 3-6pm.</p> <p>We're out the door by 8am so I can get to work on time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work/page/2#post-240107 Sun, 29 Jul 2012 16:47:06 +0000 SugarplumsMom 240107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-baby, I WAH part-time.

Our commute is about 12-20 minutes, depending on traffic. I'm in public accounting so from January - April, I leave home around 7:15 and get home around 7 at the earliest, usually closer to 8. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work/page/2#post-48452 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 21:04:01 +0000 pastemoo 48452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hubby is military so he works 6:15am to ... anywhere from noon (no joke) to 8pm, to the next morning. weekdays)<br /> in the next few months he will switch to 2days on, 2days off, with 12+ hour days.<br /> me... i leave the house at 6 30am and get home at 6 30pm or so (yuck!). have not figured out how this will work when baby comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work/page/2#post-48438 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:31:40 +0000 eeh 48438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically get home between 4:30 and 5:00 thanks to a 45 minute commute. Once that ends (next week!) I should be home by 4. Since my husband works on call and can get called any time he also gets home at random times. Typically I don't plan on seeing him until 12 hours after he leaves but there are times were he gets stuck staying the night and isn't home for 2-3 days. Other times he'll have an amazingly fast trip and be home in 3 hours. No way to tell. Ever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work/page/2#post-48243 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:28:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 48243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am usually home by 3 on the days that I don't work from home, but my husband doesn't get home until after 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-48202 Fri, 06 Jan 2012 14:44:08 +0000 MH.Abroad 48202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently work at home, but DH gets home at 6:45 usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-19790 Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:42:09 +0000 loveablebee 19790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8-6 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-18838 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:47:36 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 18838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby leaves at 5am and gets home around 7pm. When he is on nights he leaves at 5pm and gets home around 8am, sometimes later because the morning meetings last longer than the evening ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-18833 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:37:44 +0000 BSB 18833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH works in the restaurant biz so his shift are at all different times. Sometimes he is home at 5, 9 or 10p.<br /> I work at a biotech company, my hours are generally 8-9 hrs long, so I'll work a 9-6 or 10-7 on days im in the office. Although when I'm in the lab, my hours are much longer since my studies are about 14 + hours long. Sometimes I get home after 10p and sometimes much later. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-18750 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 09:57:16 +0000 heffalump 18750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM. My hubby leaves around 8 and comes home around 4:30. His job is pretty flexible though, if he needs to work from home he can, or go in late or leave early. It's pretty awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-18693 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 01:34:34 +0000 mynoahbear 18693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband usually leaves for work between 7 and 8 am and comes home anytime between 8-10 pm.

My husband doesn't have a set schedule, he's on-call 24 hours a day. He's been laid off since early September and won't go back to work until January, he's been working some oddjobs and the schedules all differ.</p> <p>Luckiky i can take Maddy with me to work, my boss rocks in that area! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4779 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 09:22:08 +0000 sandsandmore 4779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WAH, but hubby gets home between 6-9pm.

The other two days I'm home and Rob Sr. usually works 9-5. We both luckily work at very family-centric places (academia and museum). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4691 Mon, 17 Oct 2011 21:32:32 +0000 mrslily 4691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i work the normal 9-5 but due to taking the kids to daycare I go in btwn 10-10:30 and then I try to leave by 5:30 if there is work to be done I'll do after the kids are sleeping but my commute is 1.5 hrs each way. My husband picks up the kids at 2:30 and goes to work and gets home before 3am.<br /> I agree weekends are precious family time, but hubby works sunday making Saturdays &amp; vacations even more precious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4136 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:56:07 +0000 heartonastring 4136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work 8:30 to 4:00 and live less than 10 minutes from the office, so I'm usually home by 4:15 (and I go home for lunch every day). My husband is usually gone by 7:30 a.m. and home by around 6:30/7:00 p.m. </p> <p>I'm really glad that my hours will be compatible with daycare/school drop-off and pick-up times once we have children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4135 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:34:51 +0000 reggie 4135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a teacher so I can get home by 3pm on most days. My husband just got a new job so his hours will be better. He should be home before 7pm on most days as well. With his current job now, he is usually home before 8pm on a good day... so it's going to be a big difference once he starts his new job in a few weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4126 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 03:27:00 +0000 looch 4126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pre-kids, we'd both leave the house by 7 am. I'd come home some time between 6 and 7, DH was always home earlier. I had a longer public transportation commute, DH took the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4096 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:31:34 +0000 PBandBaseball 4096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both used to be in public accounting and worked a ton of hours. Now we have both moved to industry and I work 9-6 while he works 9-7ish sometimes he'll work until 9 or 10 if he has a deadline. </p> <p>I have the option to work 7:30-4:30 which is probably what I'll do when we have kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4095 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:28:09 +0000 TheFixIts 4095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two days a week I'm home at 9, the others about 6:45. Hubs' schedule varies between 6-8pm. I look forward to moving toward being home earlier! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4088 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:22:36 +0000 Mama Ek 4088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before we had a baby we used to work 9a to 6:30-7p and we only lived 35 minutes from work. Now we leave 1 h 15 m from work and I leave work at 5 to pick J up at 6:15 and get home at 6:30. My husband gets home at like 7:15. I really really wish our commutes weren't so long but I guess a lot of people that live in the suburbs of manhattan have to deal with this :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4083 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:30:49 +0000 mrsjyw 4083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My commute is about 30 minutes - 1 hour depending on the time of year. I usually leave at 8am and get home at 6pm. Hubby works about 45 minutes away and leaves at 730am and gets home at 6pm. This summer was crazy and we've had many late nights. </p> <p>I work from home once a week and I'm hoping to increase that once we have lil ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4076 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:52:17 +0000 filly 4076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have kids yet. At the moment I work from 8/8:30a - 5/6:00p and am 3 miles from home. My husband works 45 minutes from home leaves at 7:30a - home at 6/6:30pm. He works from home about 2x a week which is great. His office is pretty flexible. I don't know what its going to be like when we have minis, I'm looking forward to finding out =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-andor-your-so-get-home-from-work#post-4067 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:57:39 +0000 Laneybugsmommy 4067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work 9-6 right now and hubby is a SAHD. It's hard because I come home with just enough time to feed peanut, get her a bath and bedtime story and kiss her goodnight. </p>
