Working Moms: What are your hours?

I am supposed to go back to work on March 10 and my schedule will be 9-3:40. I will most likely have to leave the house around 7:45 and will get home around 4:30. I am just curious how much other working Moms are away from their DCs all day. To me, this schedule sounds like an eternity!

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I leave the house around 6:15am and get to work around 6:45am.

I can leave, technically, at 3pm, but I often work later to build up credit hours to use for doctor appointments, days off, etc.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I work Tues thru Fri 8-6 so I leave around 7:30 and get home at 6:15. It stinks but you will get back into the routine.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I drop my DD off @ 7:45 and get back to pick her up @ 6. I hate it.
GL!!

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

Mine suck. I am usually with Ryan til 8:15/8:30AM and don't get home til 7/7:30PM. DH picks up Ryan around 4:30PM though.

I usually don't get to work until about 9:45AM, and I aim to leave between 5:45-6:15PM.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

Right now I am working 7am-6pm. We are super busy and I am the only one in my dept so it's up to me to do what I need to do to get the work done. Today I'll probably be working until 8pm.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

my hours are normally 8:30 - 5. I usually get to work between 8 and 8:30 and leave between 4:30 and 5. After my son goes to sleep (usually around 8pm) i work for another 2-3 hours at home.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I work an hour away from home. So I drp DS off at daycare at 8am and get to work by 9am. My job is technically 9-5 but crisis often happens (usually at 4:30....) and I have to stay a little late. Usually I'm home between 6:15 and 6:30.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

leave house 7.30 home by 6.30

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

i work 3 days a week, we also leave the house b/t 7:45-8 (me and my DH take turns bringing my DS to daycare 1 day and my SIL's 2 days) and i get out b/t 2:30-3 so by the time i get my DS and get home it is usually around 4-4:15. It's def hard in the beginning but gets easier as they get older and more into a routine with their caregiver. Also, b/c i have family watching him 2 of the days, it made/makes it a little easier. and he naps 2-3 hours, so that's time that i wouldn't get to spend with him anyway. and the day he's at daycare i try to look at as good socialization for him. It does seem like an eternity during the day, but then before you know it, your getting your DC and nothing makes my day more then when my DS sees me and screams, mommy and runs with big hugs and kisses b/c he missed me so much

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

my hours are 8:30-3:30...DS gets dropped off at the babysitter at 8:15 and gets picked up at 3:45. I work very close to the babysitter and we live 15 minutes from both....the days go by pretty quick, although it suc!ed in the beginning

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

Well, I SAH now since DD#2 has been born, but when I did work, I was out of the house from 6:10am to around 3:30p.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I get to work between 9:30am and 10am. I leave around 5:30-6:15pm depending on when DH picks me up.

If I need to leave earlier or come in late, I can do it when I need to. I have a laptop so I can do work at home.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

My hours are supposed to be 9-6.. but they are usually more like 7-7. When Rob (hopefully soon) gets a job, I will need to modify my hours a bit to accomodate their bus and after care schedules.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I work 730-530 4 days a week - I have Wednesdays off

I get up at 520am everyday to get myself ready, thent o get Seamus ready for daycare or his grandparents

Its hard bc by the time I get home, ther eis enought ime for a little playing, then its bathtime and bottle time and off to bed

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I work four 10 hour days... so I work 7:00am-5:30pm. The good thing is I only have a 5-10 min. commute.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

my hours are M-F (wednesday off) from 8:15am to 4pm. i leave for work at 7:45 and i get home at 4:15.

it's rough but i am glad i get home early enough to spend a few hours with DS before his bedtime (7pm).

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I work outside the home Mon - Thurs, 8-4. I usually get to my office about 7:30 so I can get some extra work done and not have to stay late or come home with work.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

I work Mon-Fri from 3:25pm until Midnight. I leave the house at 2pm and get home at around 1am. I get up with DD around 6:30-7:30am so I am home with her in the morning-early afternoon until I have to leave for work. I went back to work on Jan. 12th and let me tell you, it is hard. I am exhausted all the time. Not to mention, I got the flu this past week... I am sure being run down doesn't help!

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

My commute is an hour. I leave at 5:45; DH drops DD at daycare any time between 7 and 8, depending on his schedule. I pick DD up between 4 and 4:30.

My actual hours are 8:00-3:10. But I'm a teacher and parking is scarce so I get there before 7. I am grateful that DH and I both have the summer off to spend with DD.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

My hours aren't fixed. In terms of time with DS, some weeks are better than others.

Re: Working Moms: What are your hours?

My real schedule is 7-3, but since Dh got sick I've been working 9-3.
