Hasn't this been the average experience for as long as dual income parenting had been typical? A "traditional" 8am-3pm school schedule still conflicts with a "traditional" 9am-5pm work schedule - you might prepare them in the morning but you won't be there when school gets out. This is why the "latch key generation" was considered a thing. If we all worked 4-6 hours per day then we could flex morning/evening according to our family needs.
