[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course you pay for any transportation with the kids during work hours.

For personal time-
if you live < 1.2 mile from Metro, she should walk or ride bike there.  (I live this far from Metro and walk or bike daily)
if you live >1.2 mile, either give her a ride there, or pay for her Uber there, but give her a budget limit of $30-$40/week.  That should cover 6 rides or so.[/quote]

$40 a week would be $2000/year, which seems like a lot.

From the perspective of a HM who provides a car for AP to use when off, it doesn't sound like a lot at all.  AP's insurance alone is 2500, plus the cost of wear and tear on the car, plus registration and upkeep and all that -- probably closer to $4500, to allow AP to drive in her off-time (I take the train to work, so my car is available for Ap anytime during the day with kids).

I therefore don't think 2K is a lot to pay for AP to have some freedom when she isn't working.  In fact, I'd say that is very fair and will go a long way toward keeping your AP happy and with an easy means of transportation.[/quote]
