[quote=Anonymous]We're currently based in NoVA. I have a job offer in Baltimore that would be a significant professional opportunity, but DH is well established in his career in DC/Arlington. I'm trying to figure out how we may logistically make this work, optimizing for commute times (for both of us) and, ideally, finding an area with good preschools/elementary schools for our son.

In the new position, I would be able to work about 50/50 from home, but the specific hours I can be home will shift pretty frequently. DH works long hours, but has some flexibility in when he puts them in (and could also potentially work from home sometimes, given we could afford a home in the area with an extra room he could use as an office).

Does anyone have any experience with one spouse working in DC/NoVA and the other in Baltimore? I'm not very familiar with MD - is there an area between the two with decent commute times for each, or will the commute just be a nightmare regardless?

Also, DS will be preschool-aged - how did you coordinate drop-off/pickup with your spouse (or did you have a nanny do it)? Or did one of you commute with DC and drop him at a school close to your work rather than close to home?

Finally - if anyone has any recommendations for preschools in Baltimore that would be great (I've got a pretty good idea about the ones available around DH's office already).

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/advice/ideas![/quote]
