[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]They can't have activities during weekdays if the parents are not available 7 am to 6 PM.[/b]  One of you has to pick up the kids at 4 and drive them to activities at 4:30 or 5.

Weekend morning is supposed to be rec sports.  He can't sleep in until 11 AM.  get through to him that when kids are up, so should he. [/quote]

+1. OP -- what are you doing that they have to be in aftercare that long? If you are really interested in other activities, maybe you should cut back on your job a bit so that you can take them there.[/quote]
Pre-pandemic my kids and most of their friends were at aftercare until 6. I lived in a suburb and worked downtown, and I had to budget an hour to get from work to aftercare. So if I left the office at 5 pm, pick up was around 6. If I wanted to leave the office at say 4 so I could pick up at 5, that meant getting to the office by 7:30. If OP and her DH could flex their time that would help, DH goes to work later and handles school drop off, and OP goes in early to pick up by 4:30 or 5 so that an after school activity is possible. Not everyone has this flexibility though.[/quote]
