[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You use daycare next to office. When I worked in Bethesda there was literally a nice day care center in building right next to office. The Mom next to me used to bring kid to work with her. drop her kid next door and go to work. No stress. They got 40 minutes in car every morning. At end of day, she walk and get her. If OT needed the come back to office, kid would hang out with Mom 15 minutes to an hour then they drive home.

My own wife her company actually had day care in building. My wife used to go down at lunch time and take my daughter out for a stroll on nice days and play with her at lunch time. They also had an app with a link my wife could click on her desk to see our kid. My wife checked it a lot first week or two.

You can have Mom friendly companies that are in person.

I then was lucky to move to a very family friendly company. Amazing pay and good medical so my wife then decided to take a break from work for 20 years. Waited to the youngest of three hit HS before going back.

Let me break it down to you. I have three kids. Two are in elementary school. They don’t go to daycare. One is in daycare. I pick the one in daycare up at 5:30 pm. We can’t afford to live right next to work. However we did pay a premium to live right next to a metro in Arlington. My husband’s work relocated last year and now is far from the metro. My job is next to the metro but takes approximately 50-1 hr to commute (this is considered a good commute by DC standards). Daycare doesn’t exist for my elementary school kids. You must not understand what daycare is.[/quote]

Living in arlington near the metro with an hour commute is not considered good! You can drive downtown in 25 minutes with traffic. I know because i do it. Where are you going on the metro that takes an hour?[/quote]

Haha seems like PP needs a geography lesson. Downtown is close to Arlington. The rest of DC is not.

You people are all insane. Housing is limited and is expensive. Jobs are limited and based on your degree, experience and expertise. Not everyone is lucky enough to find a house right next to where they live that is affordable, close to schools/daycare, that fits a family. You all know that. At this point this is just trolling.

Agreed.  Such a bunch of horrible people.[/quote]
