[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did the older GenX and younger baby boomers in dual working households get it done? Not teleworking — not in 1999, 2001. And no professionals in DC lived near their moms then so that also isn’t the answer I do think commutes weren’t an hour+ each way then. But mainly we just … did it. [/quote] I am GenX and both my parents worked. My brother and I came home after school to an empty house using the hidden key, we got our own snacks, played, fought and maybe got some homework done. If we had sports practice or scouts that was not directly after school maybe mom would come home early to drive us but mostly we rode our bikes there and back. Summers were just hanging out with the neighborhood kids for HOURS every single day. Simpler times. Wonderful memories.[/quote] Same but I had a single mom. Dad didn't do anything except take us every other weekend (sometimes because he was an alcoholic). [/quote]
