[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1.5 to 2 hours daily is not doable. [/quote]

OP here.  It has to be doable for awhile.  It’s important to both our careers and not forever.  [/quote]

If it has to work, then you just make it work. DH makes the kids lunches before he leaves for work, and gets their daycare/school together and puts it by the door for you. Or, you find another morning chore for him to do that makes your life easier and he does that before he leaves each day. Like putting the kids clothing out (although, my child started dressing himself at 2 because I was a drowning single mom so I had a basket for underwear, shirts, and bottoms - all season appropriate - and he picked one from each basket), or making their breakfast and leaving it out, or something.

If it has to work you’ll just have to suck it up.  My husband leaves often before the kids are up (6am).  He makes the lunches and gets everything ready as much as possible.  I have two kids at two different schools with different hours!  I too arrive at work feeling exhausted.  We both have long commutes (an hour) and with drop offs and pick up it is a long morning!  My husband was unemployed for a while and I had to change Jobs suddenly so we took what we could. 
 
I just tell myself this too shall pass.  I look jobs jobs closer to home in the meantime.  My husband handles evenings and I think that is worse because kids are tired.  I don’t get home until 7.
