[quote=Anonymous]When our kids were tiny, we staggered schedules. I would wake up and pump and leave a bottle for my husband. I was on the bus before the baby woke up. My husband often wasn’t home before the baby went to bed. We had “good” commutes from Arlington. I don’t know how my colleagues in Ashburn or Leesburg do it.

It seems impossible, but it gets easier once they stay up just a smidge longer. Then it gets hard again with elementary school because things like sports and cub scouts start at 4:30 or 5pm.

I grew up with a factory worker father who worked 7-4:30 and a teacher mom. My parents were always around to drive me to lessons, sports, tutoring, etc. and never missed a track meet or field hockey game, even when they were an hour away. My husband grew up with a dad who commuted to NYC and made it to 1 weeknight game or event per kid, per season. They ate dinner at 7:30pm his whole childhood. That sounds crazy to me, but he is close to his parents and he turned out fine. [/quote]
