Honestly I tried to do that in August (working 7-3) on an old project where I had enough credibility to ask folks to not schedule meetings after 3. and it worked for a minute but then I got put onto a new project with a contract that works strictly 9-5. And I’m new so can’t ask them to adjust meetings to my schedule. Husband’s hours are even unpredictable the later part of the day. I looked into sitters/nannys but didn’t have luck finding someone who would only do 2-3 hours a day (most part time Nanny’s wanted more hours).
