[quote=Anonymous]We do 1 or 2 days with an activity (swim or ballet, whoever takes her works in the car or at a coffee shop nearby). The other days, I’ll spend 30-40 minutes hanging out with her while she has a snack and downloads her day, and then she does art or solo playtime until DH finishes up and can hang with her. To respond to the PP who asked why we don’t do aftercare— we actually did aftercare but it’s just not very good at our school— insufficient playground supervision, too many coloring pages instead of real arts & crafts, and too many screens. We like the socialization but it’s low quality care and we want a better environment for her. So we split the difference with activities she enjoys and time at home with us. Neither of us ever winds up doing childcare when we’re working because we can trade off and she is self-sufficient enough to spend time on her own as well.[/quote]
