I think every parent ends up doing what you're doing. When mine were still little, at least one of them would be up every morning by 6:00am and needing attention, so I started working a 4:30am-3pm workday to have some uninterrupted time in the mornings and family-focused time in the late afternoon. The early start time stuck, and I still do this during the school year even though I don't need to because that dark, quiet time is magical for getting things done (just add coffee). 100% agree that more people need to have the choice to work hours that fit their needs. I'd include school kids among those.
