[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare near one of your offices will cut 90 minutes off of that. [/quote] I would much rather have my baby away from me but with good caregivers an extra 90 minutes a day than strapped into a car seat for 90 minutes a day. If you commute by Metro my answer changes a little, but even then that's a lot of stress for a kid for not much real interaction ability. When DS was briefly in a downtown daycare our commute (25 min on Metro) consistently wrecked his napping for the day. It was nice getting to snuggle him, but I was glad to find him a daycare 5 min from home so he could spend that hour of his day playing rather than commuting. Once a kid is old enough to converse with you from the backseat, the tradeoffs also shifts, although I *still* think playtime at daycare beats commuting.[/quote]
