[quote=Anonymous]Move into DC so you can get home earlier. We public school parents aren't so bad! Hire a sitter/cook to pick up the kid as early as you can afford (assuming aftercare costs less per hour) and have them help with homework, ferry to sports games, etc. and then start dinner. Imagine a life where your kid has finished homework, and you & DH come home to a hot cooked meal. Would be worth $100-200 a week to get someone for an hour or two? I have a similar problem, I work in news and get out later than 6 - I do dropoff, DH does pickup. If only he were better about starting dinner. Whenever he travels for work or has a reception or something we get help from a fellow parent or hire a sitter with their own vehicle. [/quote]
