When the baby is at my mom's, DH will drop him\her off around 7:10 and pick up at 3:15. When I drop off at daycare, it will be from 7:10 to 3. Not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare/page/2#post-1987396 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 18:31:41 +0000 kakimochi 1987396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH &amp; I both leave at 7:30a, he drops off the 4 YO at preschool and I drop off the 2YO at daycare. similarly, I pick up the 2YO and DH picks up the 4 YO by 6p. looong day for the kiddos, the 2YO tends to pass out in my car on the drive back home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare/page/2#post-1986642 Tue, 16 Dec 2014 12:29:58 +0000 babynumber1 1986642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does drop off and we all leave at 8am.

Leave the house around 7:20, drop off around 7:30, pickup/home between 4:30-5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985876 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 21:11:08 +0000 littleveesmommy 1985876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave home at 715am and don't get home until 745pm. :sad: We both work in Manhattan and live in Brooklyn, so the commute in itself in around 25 minutes in the morning and 30-40 minutes at night. I work 745-6 And DH works 9-6 so we drop the girls off at my parents who help us drop off/pick up DD1 at daycare and my mom watches DD2 for us. After work it's a mad dash to pick up the girls and we bath them at my parents before rushing home to get them both in bed by 8. It's ridiculous but the trade off to my long work day is that I get Friday's off.</p> <p>I just read what I typed and I'm tired from reading it. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985539 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 16:46:27 +0000 Charm54 1985539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave at 7:30am, drop her off at 7:45 and am at work for 8:00.

At night I get off at 5, pick E up at around 5:20 and we get home a few minutes before 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985493 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 16:15:54 +0000 Corduroy 1985493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave at 7am, DH takes LO to daycare at 7:25. I get home with LO between 5:15 and 5:45 depending on traffic. DH gets home around 6:15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985385 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 15:03:21 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1985385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ideally, I leave the house by 8:15, but lately it's closer to 9:00. Daycare is a short walk from the house. I usually walk back home to gather my things, then catch a bus for school shortly after. DH picks LO up by 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985380 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:59:29 +0000 lamariniere 1985380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave the house sometime between 8 and 8:30, then I come home immediately after since I WAH and daycare is a 2 minute walk. I usually pickup around 4, but daycare closes at 4:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985280 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 14:05:37 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1985280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day is different for us, which can be tricky.... But we divide and conquer so the girls usually leave at 8 and get home by 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985241 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:49:13 +0000 psw27 1985241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave at 8-8:10 and arrive at daycare around 8:30-8:40 and I pick him up around 5:15 and we get home around 5:45. I only get about an hour with him awake at night :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985151 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 13:02:42 +0000 Chillybear 1985151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same here If i want to make it to work for 8am I need to leave 6:45am. then i leave work at 4:45 and walk in my door at 6:15. </p> <p>Really sucks if there's any errands that need to be run after work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985110 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:47:00 +0000 getjazzy 1985110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave for work at 5:50am so DH always does drop off which varies between 7:30-9:30 depending on his work day and I pick up at 4:15, home around 4:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985101 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:44:05 +0000 PurplePeony 1985101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We try to leave the house around 8:30 to get to daycare by 9. DH usually picks her up by 4ish, but a couple days a week she's there until 5-5:30. We're lucky that our commute isn't that bad and daycare is across the street from my office/3 blocks from DH's, so there's not a lot of extra time spent getting from one place to another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985097 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:41:47 +0000 Modern Daisy 1985097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours won't be too different. DH will drop off DS at around 8:30 am (daycare is practically next door to us) and I will probably be there to pick him up by around 5:30pm. It's going to be an adjustment considering he normally eats dinner at 4:45pm! Very thankful to have a job though so I'm not complaining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985079 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:36:24 +0000 NeekieRose 1985079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave between 6:45 and 7 and get home between 5 and 5:15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985068 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:33:05 +0000 RsMom 1985068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave at 7:30am and get home at 5:30pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985055 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:29:55 +0000 mauxie 1985055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both leave the house at 8 and pick the kids up around 5, home by 5:30. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985051 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:29:29 +0000 regberadaisy 1985051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We leave somewhere between 7:00-7:15am and get home between 4:30-4:45 depending on traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1985022 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 12:16:48 +0000 travellingbee 1985022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily it's right down the street and we both have very short commutes.

We all leave the house around 7:45 or 8 and get home around 6:30 to 6:45 depending on traffic. I hear you on long days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1984860 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 10:57:05 +0000 Pumuckl 1984860@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I work fully (currently on mat leave) we leave at 8:20am and get home around 6pm. Now we usually leave later 8:30/8:35am and I pick him up earlier too so usually we're home by 5:30pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1984827 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 10:47:47 +0000 sapphire 1984827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, both my DH and I leave before 7 and get home after 6 and we don't yet have daycare drop-off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1984824 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 10:46:52 +0000 jetsa 1984824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Close to the same as you provided we leave on time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1984822 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 10:45:44 +0000 cheert16 1984822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do drop off around 9:30/ 10:00 am (since I work nights) DH does pickup around 6-6:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-take-your-kids-to-daycare#post-1984809 Mon, 15 Dec 2014 10:39:45 +0000 BlueWolverine 1984809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does drop off; she gets to day care around 9am.
