I hate it. It was an office policy change. Used to be 9 to 5. Now it is 8 to 5. 90 minute commute on either end. Torturous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-hours-pp#post-1517654 Mon, 24 Mar 2014 13:38:18 +0000 Mommy Finger 1517654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need to find a job where I make the same money as I'm making now but only work from about 10-3.

I could take the bus, but that would mean having DH do both drop-off and pick-up, and since he's such a mess in the mornings, I don't want to do that to him (case in point: he did drop-off alone yesterday and left LO's bottles on the counter at home, didn't realize it until he got to daycare, and had to go all the way home to get them. He also left her in her pajamas and just put another outfit over them...I'm still trying to figure that one out). Eventually, maybe we'll get onto a better schedule because I hate only having 45-60 minutes with DD in the evenings before she goes to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-hours-pp#post-1508642 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 13:54:44 +0000 MrsH 1508642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: ohhh, half days sound lovely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-hours-pp#post-1507832 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 11:34:03 +0000 Alivoo01 1507832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to work 8-5, but changed it to 7-4. I try to leave a bit before 4 to beat traffic. 10 minutes makes a world of a difference sometimes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-hours-pp#post-1507338 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:20:56 +0000 lavender 1507338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The same as before 8-5, DH has a more flexible schedule and does pickup and dropoffs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-hours-pp#post-1507281 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 10:11:26 +0000 looch 1507281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do 7-4.

After I had LO I changed my hours to 8-4. I leave before she wakes up in the morning, but I get to spend a good amount of time with her in the afternoon/evening before she goes to bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-hours-pp#post-1506954 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:26:13 +0000 mediagirl 1506954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I changed from 8-5 to 7:30 - 4. Working earlier than that would have been hard b/c daycare doesn't open until 7. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/work-hours-pp#post-1506942 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 09:24:51 +0000 MrsH 1506942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When you went back to work PP did your schedule change at all? </p> <p>I used to go in at 7 and leave at 4:30 or 5. I'm thinking about going in at 6 and leaving at 3:30 or maybe just coming and going depending on LOs morning wake up?? </p>
