[quote=Anonymous]Not sure where you are coming from, but we have two kids in two different daycares in Arlington this year and it is a hassle. (We both work in DC.) The only thing that saves us is that we both have pretty flexible jobs.  DH does drop-off and gets into work around 9:30.  I go in early so that I can leave at 4:30 to do pick-up-- but even leaving that early, I still find myself cutting it close to get to the second center by 6PM if the traffic is bad leaving DC.  DH and I both watch the traffic closely starting around 3:30 and if there is an accident on the bridge or some other issue causing massive gridlock then he will leave early and do one of the pick-ups.  (This happens maybe 2 times a month.)  We thought about the au pair option but concluded that we would face this problem eventually anyway once the oldest is in elementary school and the youngest still has two more years in daycare/preschool.  As far as logistics, the younger one gets picked up first, so I do need to buckle her and unbuckle her twice.  I usually just carry her into the oldest kid's school.[/quote]
