[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a big q is whether a commute will hurt your ability to be successful in your job or mean a sacrifice to ever seeing your kid. Some people have a 9-5 and they can drop kid at school, commute in and be back for dinner. If you start extremely early (finance) or finish at 6/7 then imo you can’t easily make burbs work AND the job and still get any family time. This is the issue with nyc is that the closest burb is still 1h commute at least [/quote]

Most people don’t go into the office everyday and do a full day.  Also, you have weekends and vacations.  Parachoial schools are half the price, and even less costly in the burbs.  Most importantly, your husband is not working at all.  This seems like a pretty easy problem in my opinion.  [/quote]

I would dispute that most people at that income level don’t have a full day of work every day. You don’t get to high six figures without most days being fairly intense - whether in office or not. My dh makes mid six figures and he is not clocking off at 430 to jump on an hour long train ride any day of the week.[/quote]

Assuming you aren’t the OP with the out of work DH, who could take care of the kids while his wife is working by the way.That said, the statement was that most people don’t [b]commute[/b] to an office 5 days a week.  It has nothing to do with how much they work during the week.  [/quote]
