Where are your kids when you're at work?
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?

When I was a teacher we worked opposite shifts with about a 1 hour crossover during which time we used daycare.

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.....

Day care center. They take the kids to school in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon.

My son is now in school and he attends after school until I get off of work. When he was a baby, he stayed with my MIL and my DH's family until he was 2 and a half then we put him in day care/preschool.

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.
