My supervisor has asked me if I could come in early for an event this week and I said no. This has come up before and I've said it's just not possible with our childcare situation. The earliest I can drop LO off is 8 a.m., so I can no longer attend any work functions that begin at 8. DH leaves at 7:30 a.m. for work and that won't change.

I also don't stay much later than I have to (though I will do some work at home if I need to) and I don't take lunch with my co-workers anymore (because I have to pump!)

I feel bad that I can't attend these events anymore but there's nothing else I can do. Are there responsibilities you've had to give up or modify based on your new life as a parent?
