[quote=Anonymous]DH and I have 4 kids (18 months to 10 years). We both work FT and have to commute (my commute is 60 minutes-ish, and his is closer to 40). We tag team it: I head to DC super early (6:30) while he gets them off to school and daycare around 9ish. I work through lunch and get home early, while he often works later. We have a sitter in the afternoons at our house until I get home. She gives the school-aged kids a snack, plays with them outside, and gets them started on their homework. I'm usually home by 5...sometimes earlier. The older two have CCD and sports a few times a week, so one of us has to be home to drive them. No nanny. No housekeeper. No lawn service. Is it busy? Yes, super busy. But it's manageable. It sounds like you and your spouse should consider staggering schedules like we do. It helps a lot. Fwiw, we live in Olney....where there are tons of working parents as well as SAHMs. [/quote]
