Banana … you need to understand where I am coming from. Right now I am working 60 hrs a week. I have 120 hours of payroll to distribute – with one full timer and 3 part time /summer help kids.

I have a family and I would like to have a life – meaning some time outside of work to pursue some hobbies and go away once in a while. When one of the part timers presents a schedule that she would like ** because that’s when my boyfriend is working** and it’s about 30 hours up from 14 during the school year (with no weekend hours) because I had a little accident with my car and I need a lot of hours – that is a tad obnoxious.

From email I got yesterday, I need to come home a day early from vacation to work because no one (of 4 people) can work the Sunday. All of the kidlets claim to need the money, but they don’t seem to be willing to put themselves out and work when it’s a bit inconvenient for them.

I’m willing to schedule the kids around their college commitments, a family vacation, special days etc etc. I’m willing to let them leave early for a concert and come in an hour late the next day – because their summer is important too. It would be nice to see a little flexiblity the other way – especially from those who want the hours and the paycheck.
