[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's what I do with my 3yo: 4 block walk to metro, 3 stops to school, 5 block walk to school.  Because she's little, I go into her class with her and help her hang up her coat, put lunch away, etc.  It's about 3 hours total each day (there and back X 2).  I'm fortunate to have a schedule that accommodates it and am grateful enough for the placement that I do it even though it's a drudge sometimes. Usually it's easy though - she is cheerful and it's nice to have the time with her, and if the weather is really terrible then we take Uber.[/quote]

Not snarky, just curious...are you really commuting 3 hours a day?  Wow.

Do you do the full commute yourself or do you a spouse/partner to help with the commute?   [/quote]

PP here - yup, we leave the house at 8 and if I don't stop for groceries etc. on the way home, I get back at 9:30. Then it's the same thing for the afternoon pickup. Kind of a pain, but fortunately the couple of days a week that I have to go in to the office for meetings, my husband can work from home and then sign off to go get her and then just works a bit more after she's in bed. His work hours are a lot longer and more set than mine, so it works out better for me to transport her most of the time.

Her school is moving next year and we are VERRRRY excited about the potential van pickup points (or even a much better route via metro bus). [/quote]
