Do they allow you to leave for 15-20 minutes if you are on a split shift to get a kindergartener off the bus? I realize that I will have to make that time up on my second shift of the split. Example: If I work from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (leave around 11:25 a.m. to get my youngest off the bus and return in about 15-20 minutes) and then the second part of the split from 9:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. to make the 8 hours for the day. Picking up my youngest is very consistent. The only other schedule I could do would be a 12 hour window from like 5 a.m. to 5 p.m., which is something I am also thinking about. What is your favorite thing about working for them? What is your gripe about working for them? If you don't mind me asking.
Thanks for the other info.

My schedule
Here is what works for me. I have a 2-1/2 year old at home. I work from 9:00 a.m. until noon, and yes, my daughter. for those three hours, either watches education television or plays with her educational toys, and I also take small breaks to take care of her when she needs my attention. Then I take the afternoons off and I don't begin work again until 9:00 p.m. and usually work until 2:00 a.m. My daughter usually sleeps until about 8:00 in the morning so I get at least 6 hours of sleep a night. I've been doing this for quite sometime so it's second nature to me. I'm more of a night person anyway. Friday nights I don't work and try to go to bed early. The type of MT job I have is very flexible as far as hours worked, which I'm very thankful for. Hopefully you'll be able to find a scheduled that will work for you.
I work 38 hours a week, here is my schedule
I did reply to your post below as well and hope I didn't not offend you. Here is my schedule, it works great for me and for my family. I get Friday nights, all day and night Saturday off, and am still able to attend church with my family on Sunday morning before having to work.
Sun. noon-9pm.
Mon. 8pm-1am
Tues. 8pm-1am
Wed. 6pm-1am
Thur. 8pm-midnight
Fri. 10am-6pm
I have to be up at 6:30 in the morning getting the older kids ready and off to school, but my little ones pretty much sleep through the night and I often catch a little nap with them during the day if I need one. I feel like I have the best of both worlds........stay home mom with my kids, and working and bringing in income. My DH only works a half day on Fridays so he is home before I start my shift at 10. Maybe you could ask for a trial period of a work schedule and make changes where you seem fit with your supervisor. I used to work a split shift, early a.m. and then again later at night, but found that to be quite draining and it made the days seem very long, but that is just me. Good luck, you will find what works best for you. :)
