[quote=Anonymous]For crying out loud, could you harpies let up on the SAHM/WOHM thing for five minutes and try to answer the OP's question?

Yes, OP, I did the crazy commute for 9 years. I sucked... big time.. but my kids liked the school and they were doing great so I sucked it up and slogged thru to the end. If you decide to go the crazy commute route you will eat a lot of meals in the car, your kids will have to do some degree of picking and choosing of activities and your kids will likely need to stay at school if there's any lag time between activities and the end of the school day.

SAHM's I have found, are generally quick to volunteer to take your kid to an occasional birthday party after school or something like that. Once you make friends with the other mom's I never had a problem. In fact, most other moms would say "if you need me to do a party run or if you get stuck in traffic and need a pickup, let me know" type of thing. The day the bus fell off the I-270 overpass, one mom called my cell and said "do you just want me to take Larla home and you can get her whenever you manage to get here?"

In terms of carpooling... Its not a SAHM vs. WOHM issue. Every school my kids have attended will provide info to the parents to set up carpools. My son graduated from a DC private and we had a large carpool that worked really well. [/quote]
