[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that the norm nowadays with both parents RTO? My kids are in before and after childcare and then school during the day. Drop off is 7am and pick up is 6pm. [/quote] I'm confused. My kids get on the bus at 8:45am and don't get home until 4:30. They are out of the house almost 8 hours a day and I work from home without any childcare. 8 hours is not unusual, OP. WTF? [/quote] Yes 8 hours is typical for elementary school - my son gets on a bus at 7:30 and his school ends at 3:30. A lot of kids are in aftercare until 5 or 6 pm. That’s more like 11 hours and I think is a really long day. My son does two activities after school and the rest of the days are downtime, which he needs. Apart from the winter, he spends most of the afternoon school hours playing in our backyard. [/quote]
