[quote=Anonymous]People do what they need to do and often can afford to do. DH and I have flexible jobs and someone is typically present in the home after school. It has helped being there during the turbulent middle school years. We chose to move into a smaller house near DD's school so she can walk to and from most days and friends can stop by at the last-minute, cutting down on some logistical issues. We are far less stressed than many other parents we know, and we pick up the slack and help the other kids whose parents have more demanding schedules because it takes a village to raise kids. We don't consider ourselves saints but appreciate the time we have to check-in with our child and/or friends after school etc. and have a fairly stable and consistent schedule. [/quote]
