My boss is killing me about being online during school pickup time

I work 7-3:30 specifically so I can pick my kids up from school at 3:45. Boss just got on me about being offline during those 15 minutes and I'm pretty frustrated. I make my hours, I get my work done, and this flexibility was part of our remote agreement. Trying to figure out if I should push back or just deal with it. Anyone dealt with something similar? How did you handle it?

Your boss is out of line. You arranged your whole schedule around pickup - that's the deal. Those 15 minutes are non-negotiable dad time, not work time.

I'd push back on this one. You're doing 7-3:30 specifically for this reason and you're still getting your work done. That's solid boundaries right there.

That's rough man. Sounds like your boss doesn't get that being present for pickup is just as important as being at your desk. Stand your ground on this.
