[quote=Anonymous]This has very much been out experience, too. I feel you - I'm sorry. We also reduced retirement savings for a few years and made other choices to make it work. TBH, our kid is in a much better place now, and I'm glad we did it, but we are happy to see a possible end in sight.

I think there are options you can look at, depending on what your primary concerns are:.

- Can DH take the kid to school and you do pickup? We time shifted our work schedules to allow for this, and it wasn't great, but it worked.

- Can you add evening hours if you want to keep working FT? Either on you current job or another related position? Depending on what type of education work you do, there may be opportunities to grow your resume through evening teaching or consulting (if you want to - just know if may be exhausting to do it all like this).

- Is there an afterschool after are that could pick up and drop off? I've heard of karate clubs doing this sometimes. The SN school where my kid goes doesn't have aftercare either, so we vaguely looked into this option for a while.

- Can you trade off pickups with other parents? Ask the school if they could put you in touch with others to find out if they live nearby or are interested. Our school offers some clubs after school - not consistently enough for real aftercare, but you can kind of piece it together with some flexibility and other help.[/quote]
