6? I leave at 4:30-5:00.

Wait. What about 5?

Major urban areas the formal business hours are 9-6, assuming an hour lunch break. Speaking strictly on paper terms.

In my experience, I’ve mostly noticed dads would take on dropping the kid off in the morning - and moms picking them up. Then carrying the burden of “leaving at 6 pm” when work is still bustling.

It’s nice to see it the other way around so other dads can consider doing the same and things can be more balanced.

As hard as it is, the move to leave at five to help with toddlers’ bedtimes, and get back to work from 8:00 until whenever is the way to be. Happy wife, happy kids. I can watch tv or whatever when they’re older.

Once a week I had to leave work at 5:45 to pick up my kid. It was very stressful to wrap everything up or put things and people on hold until I could get back online at 8 PM. And that was ONLY one day a week. 😕

I’ve been asked to weigh in on how to improve my firms parental leave policy.

I’m in a major city, firm is a boutique that has been around a very long time. What would you suggest? Any studies or research you’ve seen recently on trends in parental leave policies also helpful. I’d like to have some sort of data to back up what I recommend. TIA!

I love my job and the people I work with, but there’s one thing that really bothers me: the lack of diversity. Sometimes when I walk into the office and see everyone else around me as the only POC, it feels kind of weird. I don’t think anyone here has ever said anything racist or sexist to me personally, but I don’t feel comfortable talking about these issues with anyone because they might take it personally and then things could get awkward between us.
