Agree great to talk with a child on a long commute but no play dates. Too far for everyone.

20 minutes each way.

I enjoy the time I spend with my DS. We really do appreciate the time to talk without other disruptions.

It isn't ideal...but we make the best of it.

30 minutes by car, or about 50 minutes by Metro.

That's priceless. "

Do people who commute this long stay in the area of the school, or drive there and back twice a day? I am not sure I could do the latter, but I am not sure what to do (besides look for a job in the area?) hanging out so far from home for that many hours.




I used to drive 35-40 minutes to take my kids to school each day. AFter we changed schools, they said they missed having a lot of time to talk to me.



Their school was near my workplace, so I dropped them at school and then picked them up from aftercare on the way home.
