Was just discussing in another thread that my step father didn't "get" my H and my 3-days-each working pattern for childcare (grandparents on Wednesday) - bit of a dinosur re: women working after kids but that's another topic
I was just sitting here thinking that most couples I know only do the 1-breadwinner and 1 person SAH or parttime thing
what other unconventional ways of working have you seen/heard of, or are living with!
i actually think our 3 day (so 6 days of wages) is rather elegant, it means nan is kept in contact regularly, we collectively earn a decent wage, but we both get to grips with running the house with little ones around, and we get to be there for them growing up! of course that depends on being lucky to have a job/employer willing to say Yes to the 60% working arrangement.
