[quote=Anonymous]You are NOT overreacting. His inability to leave work early materially impacts three other people's schedules every weekday apart from his own, and creates a lot of stress for the family. That is not OK!

Is this the kind of workplace where he can pick his hours? What have other similarly situated colleagues done? He shouldn't forego promotion chances, future earnings and credibility in his field if he sticks to a hard end-of-day cut-off, but it's hard to tell from here how much flexibility he has in that particular workplace with that particular boss.

What other options do you have, if your husband can't do pick-ups? You can't sacrifice your career either. Does the daycare have extended hours? Could you swing an au-pair or nanny, that cares for both kids? Does the older child absolutely need that activity she's late to?

Reliable drivers are unicorns, by the way. They're called au pairs, or nannies. Reliable part-time nannies who won't flake on you are very hard to find. Drivers, nearly impossible.

I'm sorry, OP. This is unfortunately a very common, and very stressful, situation.
