[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=js426][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This will be awful for both of you.  I don't think it's sustainable long term (although Joe Biden did it for decades in reverse).  Maybe DH should rent a studio apartment in Newark and drive up Monday morning and come home Thursday night and work from home on Friday.[/quote]

This is what my spouse and I do and it's been fine.  That commute is not sustainable particularly if there is no telecommute option or no option to work on the train as part of your day.[/quote]

You and your spouse have been doing DE-DC commute? Would you be able to share more - where do you live (I presume on the MD side?), where in DE do you have to go to, what is your main form of transportation (train?), and what is your work arrangement? Thanks! I know our situation is not ideal nor realistic, but your comment gives me a bit of hope...[/quote]

PP- no sorry, I meant we do the setup; however ours is a DC to Charlottesville commute.  We both work with homes in rural VA and downtown DC.   We generally alternate weekends.   I have one child (3YO) who goes to day care here and stays with me.  It works for us.

PP again - adding that one thing that makes this really easy for us is that neither of us have big daily commutes - we ponied up a bit more money to get a house that was close to daycare and work.   [/quote]

I don't get it - how do you have a DC to Charlottsville commute but live close to daycare and work and not have a big daily commute. I'm missing something.[/quote]

DP, but I think she's saying they don't live together during the week. One spouse lives in Charlottesville and one lives in DC and they get together on the weekend. [/quote]
