[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was working when my kids were in daycare... came home when they were all in school. I found the demands of having school-age kids (homework, school closures, activities) to be more demanding and less out-source-able than the demands of having younger kids. [/quote] Serious question from someone with younger kids...how does that work. Once they are at school 6-7 hours a day, how is that busier. Isn't all that stuff concentrated into after school (late afternoon, evening, weekends)? I was looking forward to having more energy, not less.[/quote] They are more likely to have activities that need driving to after school, schools close more often than most daycares do (random holidays, teacher workdays), they need help with homework and projects. None of this makes working impossible, but the logistics get more difficult. [/quote]
