It used to be a 'career limiting move' to request/recieve flex time. more and more i see companies adopting the mantra 'as long as the work gets done, i dont care where/when you do it!' which is very refreshing. My husband also does most of the running around for the kid since he works closest to home and doctors and the daycare is onsite at his office. his ability to be flexible in his job has helped us tramedously with our family juggle! Remember too - flex not only helps out the parents with their kids, but those who are are taking care and have responsibilities to their aging parents. Hopefully companies will see the more flexibility they allow their employees, the more productive and successful they will be! great point! i think women demanding flex time has opened the door for men to reap the benifits too!
