[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think it depends what time school ends. Middle school doesn't start until 9 am so my DD doesn't get off the bus until 4:45. She unwinds for 45 minutes and then I'm home.

I think elementary was harder to manage working and being there for my child. There are a million volunteer activities, homework help, and early sports practices during elementary years.[/quote]

Yea. It definitely would be a waste of a 6 figure income for me to SAH at this point in time. My middle schooler gets off the bus at 345pm and my 9th grader is a walker and walks through the door at 415. Most days I'm home by 430/445 and since DH is in sales he works from home and rarely schedules a meeting past 3pm. I definitely am not stressed over logistics and both of my kids play travel sports m, plus my HS son plays 2 HS sports. My boys have managed straight As ever dince 7th grade without me hovering over their homework and both take all honors. I actually think NOT hovering over them has done them well. If i feel the need to extend my reach with school, its as easy as checking google classroom and parent vue where grades are updated real time. [/quote]

Your situation is not every parent of a middle schooler's situation, but thanks for playing.[/quote]
