[quote=Anonymous]This really depends on where you are.  I have friends who have to drive their kids to school and pick them up. Maybe they have one kid doing an EC at school and the other doing an EC somewhere else. It is a lot of driving. My teen only needs rides if it is rainy or too hot to bike, but I have to be available for that. Also I have to drive him to orthodontist appts which are every 6 weeks. Driving to other stuff, to see friends, all these things. I think it is easier to work FT when your kids need some one to drive them all the time, not just some of the time.  Likewise easier with toddlers who don't really have activities to just find one caregiver who takes care of them 45 hrs a week. It is harder to piece together coverage for after school care, and then days the school is closed, etc when they are in elementary school.

I think emotionally the teen years are harder. I have found the thing about young kids needing *someone* and teens needing *you* to be accurate for my kids.  [/quote]
