[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our local elementary schools start at 9am. We tried before care, but it was almost empty and kid found it depressing. Too young and too far to walk to school on own (no bus). How are working parents handling this? Do they get to work around 930/945? Have a crazy short commute so 845 drop off and get to work by 9? Hiring nannies or local grandparents for mornings? My career has definitely suffered by being the morning drop off; somedays I dont get until 10 which hurts. [/quote] I'm sorry and I remember these days when my daughter was young. Wait until you get to summer camp scheduling - the hours are always 9-3:30 or 4:00 so summer is very stressful because they cannot stay later than that. The system is not set up for working parents. I sacrificed salary for a short commute and flexibility (including remote work two days a week) when my daughter was young. Have never regretted it, as it removed a lot of stress from our lives.[/quote]
