I wish I could make this a poll.
Do your kids go to a daycare center? An at-home daycare? Before & after care at school? Do you & SO work opposite shift to save child care costs? Do they go to a relatives house, like grandma's? Do you have a nanny?
Then we moved & had the same shift & they went to grandma's. Then I started working from home & they're with me whenever they're not in school.
My kids are with their father. He is a SAHD. My parents have them this weekend, which is awesome, except we have no money for a date night.....
We have 2 kids ages 6 (in 1st grade) and 4 (starting pre-k) I have a in home daycare that we use part time and DH works opposite shifts than I so he can watch.
I would rather the in home daycare than dh some days b/c having everyone in the house while i am working at home can be distracting. But for the sake of saving $$ it is working out.
Mine are in school all day. They are old enough to be home after school for a little while until I get home. I usually get home about an hour after them.
