[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Summer camps are one thing (and many kids with SAHPs or FT nannies still attend them to socialize and learn new things). But before *and* aftercare when you have two parents with WFH flexibility? That seems avoidable. DH and I have always staggered schedules for this reason, to maximize time with a parent. Yes, it means we have to log in most weeknights for an hour or two, but totally worth it.[/quote]

This. We actually never used before or after care because my public school kids have always been gone for about 7.5 hours or more. In fact, nobody at our ES bus stop over the years used before or after care despite almost every family having two working parents. Generally one worked early and one worked later. [/quote]

After kindergarten, kids can get off the bus and walk home so there really is no excuse. I had a baby when my son was in second grade and he would walk home from the bus stop alone.

If you are WFH, your kid could just walk home.[/quote]
Some nutjob will probably call CPS on you if you let your first grader walk home from the bus stop alone. [/quote]
