[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviving this gem as we're considering moving to Ashburn. DH works near the White House, and I WFH. DH would take public transit, either drive to Wiehle and metro or take the bus all the way in. Thoughts? [/quote] This is our situation, although DH is in consulting so his commute varies based on client. I bear the brunt of the household duties and childcare pickup/dropoff since DH is gone for nearly 12 hours a day. He prefers to drive and leaves by 6:15 a.m., usually starts work by 7:30 and leaves by 4:30. Yes, it can be a miserable commute, but most days he's home by 5:30 and will do some work after the kids are in bed. He also telecommutes a few days a month. I'm able to maintain the house, prep dinner, etc. during the day so when we're all home it's family time. It's not ideal but it works for us for now. Six months ago we were both commuting and it was not a life. Having one parent either SAH or WFH is essential.[/quote]
