...sometimes.
Suzanne and I have this thing going where she works every other Friday. I take the Fridays off when she works so I can watch the boys while she's gone. Then I go in to work the next day (Saturday) to make up for it. That way she can work to keep herself involved in her career and I don't have to take all my vacation time to make up for it (or pay for some sort of day-care service).
It's important to me that Suzanne can work. She's a physical therapist and needs to be involved in order to stay current in her field. As committed as we are that she should be a stay-at-home mom and I will be the supporter, I don't want to deny her the enjoyment of exercising the knowledge and skills she has acquired.
At any rate, I don't mind working Saturdays. It's actually quite nice! Some of the perks:
- No rush to get in for meetings or anything (although I'm usually here before 8:00 anyway).
- No-traffic commuting.
- Not may people at the office to bother/distract me (I get a lot done).
The only con I have found so far is that I have one less day to spend with Suzanne and the boys together. Well, really it's one less day with Suzanne since I get to be with the boys all day Friday.
And it's hard to be at work on a Saturday when it looks really nice outside (sigh).
