[quote=Anonymous]Home. Easier to share pick-up / drop-off duties, assuming the two parents don't work really close to each other. Even if you assume one person will be the primary transportation, what happens if you need to work late some night? Travel for a day or two? Spend the morning at a doctor's appointment that you don't want to take the kid to? Get sick and spend the morning puking? The spouse will need to step in at some point. Also better for building a network of family friends near your home. "Daycare parents" were a big source of playdates and birthday parties early on. It sucks if they are all 30 minutes away and you don't get to know anyone in your own neighborhood. And lastly, there will come a phase where the kid screams his head off every time he has to get in a car. Or gets carsick. Or starts potty training and has to find a bathroom every ten minutes. Trust me, a long commute with a screaming, puking, or peeing kid is no fun for anyone. [/quote]
