Work is only 15 minutes from my house but I have to drive past it in order to drop LO at my moms house which is 10-15 min past where I work. And then in the afternoon I have to drive 10-15 min in the opposite direction of home to pick him up and then drive 25 min home. So annoying and we're looking into moving so I don't have to waste so much time in the car. It's mentally draining to know I am driving in the opposite direction.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771738 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:43:50 +0000 Grace 771738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's only 15 minutes. I'm lucky because I live close to downtown and work is in the 'burbs, so I drive against rush hour traffic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771737 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:43:29 +0000 Ash 771737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a 70 minute drive one way... it's pretty much all highway so it's not too bad. But it does get old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771726 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:41:00 +0000 prettylizy 771726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: my FIL had a thing like that, his was a flight away, but for 8 or 9 months. He flew there on Sundays and flew home on Fridays. He HATED it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771677 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:33:56 +0000 pastemoo 771677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: yeah, it's a special circumstance. it's an 8 month thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771599 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:13:14 +0000 DigAPony 771599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to drive about half an hour each way. It's annoying but not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771597 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:11:57 +0000 prettylizy 771597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: dude, thats a crazy commute! lol!</p> <p>40 minutes each way, mostly county roads, minimal traffic </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771592 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:10:51 +0000 pastemoo 771592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>3 hr 10 minute drive... so I stay here when I work, then stay home on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771569 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:06:12 +0000 Smurfette 771569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 25 mins to work, then anywhere 35-1 hr+ on the way home and that was leaving at 430. Going to be worse now since it will be 5 before I get on the highway after picking up R from day care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771567 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:05:49 +0000 BeachMama 771567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About 30-45 minutes to go about 15 miles. Not horrible (for LA) but not great either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771555 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:01:51 +0000 Dandelion 771555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My commute is only taking DS to school, which was easy when we were across the street, but now it's 15-20 minutes there and back, twice a day.</p> <p>DH drives about 40 minutes into the city from where we are right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771548 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:00:12 +0000 matador84 771548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>15 mins to daycare 15 to work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771500 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:44:37 +0000 lilteacherbee 771500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 minutes! Before we moved, it was 45-50 minutes one way and that was awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771484 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:40:47 +0000 mrskc 771484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work is 35 miles away. Public transportation sucks in my city, and I don't even know that I could get there by public transportation. Luckily, we don't have heavy traffic. I take the highway and I work out in the country so then it's just country roads once I get off the freeway. It's 40-50 minutes door to door. The only time the highway is crawling is if there is an accident or it's a Friday evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771476 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:38:01 +0000 yellowbird 771476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>35-45 minutes one way. Depend on traffic. Onetime it took me around an hour. I haaaaaate it! I only have to do it for 3 more week thank goodness! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771449 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:31:49 +0000 Charm54 771449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm lucky...the school I teach at is literally a 2-3 minute drive. I usually walk it when I don't have 3978482 bags to carry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771445 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:30:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 771445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: I could theoretically live way closer to work, but the town my office is in sucks, so I don't want to live near it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771443 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:30:45 +0000 babycanuck 771443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work at several locations...and commute really varies based on that plus traffic. It can be as short as 20 minutes to my closest office, to 2.5 hours 1 way to another, to an hour long plane ride. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771439 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:28:48 +0000 kml636 771439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm very lucky. I live four miles from work and her daycare is on the way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whats-your-commute-like#post-771433 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:25:45 +0000 Foodnerd81 771433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually take the train to work-- it involves one transfer and a 5 and a 10 minute walk at either end, usually 45 minutes to an hour door to door. It's not too bad and I can usually sit and read or listen to music (or check Hellobee!).</p> <p>Today I drove because I had a midwife appt in the morning, and the drive home sucks! It took 40 minutes to go about 2 miles on the highway, total about 1.5 hours total (without traffic it should be 20-30). </p> <p>So... what is your commute like? Do you prefer to drive or take public transportation? I'm all about the public transportation! </p>
