[quote=Anonymous]We live on the western edge of Herndon right off of 28, so we are basically in Ashburn in terms of the commute comparison, and I can tell you it is pretty bad.  My DH commutes to DC and I commute to Tysons.  Mine is fine.  HIs is arduous, and it really affects all of our lives.  Even though I also work, I am the parent 24-7 for five days a week, b/c he has to wake up before the kids wake up, and he gets home after they are in bed.  I do EVERYTHING:  wake up, get dressed, brush teeth, breakfast, get kids in car, get kids to daycare, go straight to my work, work for 9 hours, leave, go straight to pick up kids, do the entire evening routine, bedtime.  Suffice it to say, sometimes it feels like kids and I are living one life, and DH is living another.  It is superhard to reconnect back on the weekends, and I can definitely tell at least one of my daughters doesn't have as close of a relationship to him as to me because of this.  It will definitely affect your entire life, so I definitely think that you both should have a decision in this.  It will affect your family as a whole, so make sure to think out all of these permutations.  PS  We originally lived on Capitol Hill (him) and Arlington (me) before we got married, and we are dying to move in closer again once we can afford to.  Until then, it is like we are just holding our collective breaths and treading water, telling ourselves, "This too shall pass.  This too shall pass.  This too shall pass."  [/quote]
