[quote=Anonymous]We only have one kid, which makes life easier. We live 5 minutes from his school. DH has been working from home since COVID and is able to take breaks at different times. Some days he goes and plays tennis at lunch, some days he takes DS to an activity after school. I have a flexible job where I can leave early if I need to. DS has something pretty much every day of the week, his choice, but the earliest anything starts is 6 PM. It has been that way since he was in 4th grade. He has time to get home from school, have a snack, do homework, and relax before activities. But we choose a house that was close to our jobs so we had a short commute and a house that was close to the school any kids would attend. And we looked for jobs that are flexible. I have not searched for jobs because I like the flexibility of my job. I could probably make more money but I would need to work longer hours and have less flexibility and that is not what I want. But all of those are deliberate choices that we have made. [/quote]
