No. And they aren’t going to. It’s a problem.

He is not that competent to get these 2 monsters out of bed, get dressed etc, and 2 year old cries and whines at daycare drop off. She just started like last week and it was her first time daycare experiences after staying at home for more than a year.
I mean I empathize because my DH does not handle the morning routine well either (our kids are the same age) but he goes to work early and then does the afternoon pickup. With both of you commuting your DH needs to assume responsibility for one or the other. You'll come to resent him otherwise and burnout.
+1. Leave and let him learn how to get competent. He can do it, I promise.
