[quote=Anonymous]I have a hybrid work schedule and we now have kids in two different schools. All kids don’t attend our neighborhood school and the commute adds a level of complexity to everything. The schools are great so we want to maintain that. We are just finding it increasingly more difficult to get three kids in afterschool activities when we live farther away.

I’m curious how everyone is managing work schedules and afterschool activities. If I need to be at school at 5pm when my elementary student finishes an activity, I have to leave work at least by 3:30pm to make sure I’m there on time. That doesn’t feel sustainable.

Pre-pandemic our kids just didn’t do activities because I was commuting 5 days a week and there was zero chance I could leave to take them to activities. But I also don’t want to go back and cut everything cold turkey.

Is everyone leaving work at 3pm to get their kids from school? After I got home from bus pick up, I ended up working again from 8-11pm.

Finally got to bed and was up again at 5am. Parents with multiple kids and at least 1/2 activities per kids, how do you manage??
