how many days a week do you work?

octbride2006

Just curious.  I am starting to talk to my job about my options after maternity leave... I would really want to work 4 days.

Five days, FT.  Going p/t or going to a 40/4 or even 9/80 is just not a workable option unfortunately. 

ctgrl

5 days full time

I work 5 days, FT.  I will have to continue to do this until DH finishes school (another 3 1/2 years) but hopefully after that, I can cut down to PT or SAH.

FT - 5 days a week.  I do work from home 1 day a week which helps.  The kids are at daycare 5 days a week.

4-5.  I work 80 hours over the 2 week period (9 hours a day, I work through lunch) so I have every other Friday off.  It works really well for me. 

The only complaint that I've heard from some of the 4/10 girls is that they have to leave early and get home late which leaves little time to see DC when he/she's awake.  But if you can get 4 8's or 4 9's that would be great!

5 days (FT).  After 6 weeks off for maternity leave I worked only 2 days a week for another 6 weeks, and it was great to have that transition time before I had to go back to work FT.

5 days more than F/T - but I adjust my schedule a bit b/c I own my own biz.

As of next week i will work one 12 hour and one 8 hour night shift a week. I am so excited.

rissa06

working FT - 5 days. . . approx. 60 hours a week these days.

jrosie

3 days a week for a total of 26 hours.  Less days is much nicer.  I do work one long day and I truly hate that day more than anything.  I am not sure if I could pull 4 10s or not.  Just depends on your situation!

mrshutch

5 days- a little over 40 hours.

MrsSledge

5 days, full-time, but I was able to change my hours from 8-5 to 7:30-4:30 to help with traffic delays.

I work four 8 hour days per week. I love it.

lisaNov3

sara1104

i work 5 and would LOVE to work 4!  I say do it!

blondie75

Before I went out on leave, I was working 5 days a week, approximately 10 hours a day.  I reduced my time to 4 days a week, 8 hours a day and it was one of the best decisions I made.

MrsAmers

5 days for 8 hours

4-10s is an option in my office, but while I was pumping that would have meant being in the office for a minimum of 11.5 hours and when you add in my commute I would be away from home for 12.5-13 hours a day. 

Even now that I'm not pumping I still don't think it is worth it because it would either mean not seeing DD in the morning or not having time to eat dinner as a family every night.

Ditto this.  I tried going PT and it made my life crazy.  Work was crazy and home life was crazy too b/c less work = less help from DH.  I WAH 1 day a week and bring work home in order to give me the flexibility I need to be there for my kids when they need me.  It works out pretty well for us, I think.

For the first almost 2 years after DD was born it was 5 days/week full time.  Then for the last 7 months I worked in the field, so it really depended on when my appointments were scheduled and how much paperwork I had.  I usually took DD into daycare later (9:30am ish) if I could and picked her up early.

momofolivia

5 days.  wish it were less.

Pixiestx

5 days.  4 sounds great.

JulieRNbride

Two days. Two shifts, 12 hrs each, so 24 hrs/week. I work Fri & Sat nights every week, so I am home Mon-Fri.

joelle&joseph

4 to 4.5. I work 9-4 M-Th and I work some Fridays but only 9-12.  I LOVE my hours.  I get to see DS in the morning and feed him breakfast and then I'm home early enough to play with him and eat dinner as a family.  My Friday's are great, either I'm home or I go in for 3 hours to finish up what I was working on that week.  It's up to me whether I go in on Friday's or not.

5. I teach.?

Mrs_JR

My job is full time and I usually work 5 days a week.  I have a very flexible job though.  I can work the hours I want to work and do work from home.  As long as I get my job done no one really cares when I do it. 

bridetobe0jb

5 about 9-10 hours a day.  3 days a week would be the greatest.

JLSBWG

I work four 8 hour days.   I love it!
