Pumping at work isn't too bad. I go out to my car, which isn't ideal, but it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563566 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:51:03 +0000 MsLipGloss 563566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Full days. Half days don't leave much room for things like doctor's appointments and other time-consuming events/errands.</p> <p>ETA: Half days may have the effect of making you feel as if you work full time (because you are there 5 days a week). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563561 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:50:26 +0000 2PeasinaPod 563561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do the 2.5 full days too. I'd rather have a few full days off with LO than going to work every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563553 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:48:20 +0000 LazyLightning 563553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I'd do the full days and have more time off, for SURE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563454 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:10:06 +0000 blackbird 563454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd work two 10's! If that were feasible :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563450 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:07:29 +0000 jedeve 563450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was leaning towards 2.5 days. The thought with 5 was trying to avoid having to pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563444 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:05:46 +0000 Charm54 563444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'd go with the 2.5 full days. I feel like I'd get more done if I had full days off rather than half days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563443 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:05:40 +0000 lawbee11 563443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How's your commute? I have a pretty long commute, so I'd do 2.5 days so that I'd only have to drive in 3 days instead of 5. Also, I think having 2 full days off would be really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563439 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:04:59 +0000 keiki_mama 563439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably work 2.5 days too. It would scale back on my cost of daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563436 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:04:11 +0000 BelugaBean 563436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's tough. Is it possible to try both and see which one works better for you?</p> <p>Having 4.5 days off would be nice but so would only working half the day. I think I would work 2.5 days though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-19#post-563426 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 10:58:14 +0000 jedeve 563426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work 20 hrs a week and can set my own schedule. Should I work 2.5 full days? Or 5 half days? Trying to figure out what would be easier with schedule and pumping and all. </p>
