Day care, I suppose. But doesn't having to drive your kids to day care remove a big positive in favor of working at home (eliminating the commute)?
I don't think I'm "grasping for excuses" at all. The kids that I've seen and met would be completely impossible for me to work at home and maintain any concentration. I'm honestly befuddled how parents of kids under the age of 10 get any rest at all. I guess some of them are lucky and get kids like me when I was young (I was quiet and liked to sit in my room on my computer, or doing puzzles, etc.), but the kids my friends have aren't like this at all, and from my observation are the norm these days (I was an odd, quiet kid even back in those days).
- joshmanders 10y agoMy wife works, she leaves at 8AM to take our 7 year old to school and our 2 year old to daycare. At 3:15PM my father-in-law picks up our 7 year old from school and hangs out with her. At 5PM my wife gets off work and goes and picks up our 7 year old. I go and pick up our 2 year old. We come home, make dinner, have family time, and put the kids to bed. My only distraction during the day is my 4 month old lab puppy who needs a little play time and bathroom breaks. It's not tough. It's about having a consistent schedule. I did however get lucky as my 2 year old has slept through the night all but 4 nights since she was 2 days old. My wife goes to bed around 9PM, I go to bed around 11:30PM, she gets up at 6:30AM and I get up at 7:45AM.
