?

So I'm a working mom, I work aprrox 42 hours a week and my husband works 40 hours a week, we have two daughters, Adie just turned 5 in late Nov and Lizzie will be 4 early April. While me and my husband work (for the same company) the girls stay with my grandmother (67) during the days along with my grandpa and great grandma...

My issue is, both me and my husband love our work, however my husband gets off at 5pm and drives 45 minutes to pick up the kids and i get off at 6pm, so im home alone for about 45 minutes before him and the kids get home. Once they get home it eels like its such a rush just to get dinner on the table and then all of a sudden its bed time (8:30pm).

My question is, what do other working families do with what little time there is to spend as a family during the week to still feel close?

Thank you to everyone who reads this post!

The apartment complex I work at sometimes does not renew all leases. When we have a lease we are not going to renew, we give them a letter approximately 65 days before the end of their lease to inform them that they are not being renewed.

With a unit recently, the tenants have argued with us about it and want to know why. We tell all tenants that it's a business decision and that's all. They have asked us for more time but this weekend I got a message from their lawyer saying that he thinks we are required to give tenants a reason and that by not doing so it's an issue of "selective tenancy" and he wants us to extend the lease or go to court.

The problem I have with this is that first of all, or course it's selective tenancy, that's why we reject applicats. The complex is private property and privately owned.

Second, if this was a valid legal issue, why have none of the tenants we decided not to renew never argued it?

These are not necessarily bad tenants, they do pay on time every month, but the amount of work orders they place is ridiculous and the constant complaining, we are no longer able to keep them happy anyway. There are always those few tenants that you will never be able to please and it's best to just part ways.

Also, even though I know the reasons we are not renewing them, we don't get into it with them in case they try to say we are being discriminatory or something like that, which is why we simply say it's a business decision. Its just like when tenants move out, they are not required to give up a reason...

I'm wondering if any other property managers have dealt with this issue before.

Thank you!
