Maybe 4x a year? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2432375 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 23:56:21 +0000 sera_87 2432375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SO does both all the time. This semester I usually get home after they've gone to bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2432363 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 23:33:55 +0000 catomd00 2432363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All me all the time.

Occasionally we swap or cover for each other when we have something come up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2432318 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 22:54:41 +0000 sapphire 2432318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drop off and DH picks up most days. I like going, seeing the teachers, checking out the kids artwork, meeting some of the other parents, getting to know the other kids. I always allow a little extra time to socialize! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431807 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 19:18:31 +0000 alphagam84 2431807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH will do drop off and I'll do pick up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431725 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:26:39 +0000 YouGotMe 2431725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's daycare is on campus. So I drop her off on my way to work and DH picks us both up. He used to get her first but lately due to weather he's been picking me up first and we both go get her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431698 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 18:03:37 +0000 birdofafeather 2431698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>she goes 2x a week, Tues/Wed and I do almost 100% of drop offs and 75% of pick ups due to DH's work schedule. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431677 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:44:26 +0000 PawPrints 2431677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>100% DH. I feel spoiled that I don't have to deal with it at all, and I enjoy being able to get ready in the morning all by myself, but I also get a little bummed that I'm cut off completely from her daycare life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431673 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:43:32 +0000 FaithFertility 2431673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do<br /> One week I do 2/5 days PU and DO<br /> Other week I do 3/5 PU and DO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431647 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:36:27 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2431647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does dropoff and I do pickup. But sometimes we'll switch or cover for each other if something comes up with work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431628 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:28:24 +0000 Alba4 2431628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do both, but now that I can't lift my son, one of the grandmas does drop off and DH does pick up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431584 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:11:06 +0000 KT326 2431584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do drop offs and DH does pick ups. Sometimes we switch if he has to work late or I will just do both. It helps that daycare is half a mile away from our house (although sometimes with traffic it can still take over 10 minutes to get to either place!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431572 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 17:05:53 +0000 DillonLion 2431572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@edelweiss: Ditto. It probably will only be for another year or two at the most, but I love being together for the extra tiny bit of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431557 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:58:12 +0000 Rocker2014 2431557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does both. His work hours are a lot more predictable than mine, so we purposely chose a center very close to his job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431506 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:39:53 +0000 Astro Bee 2431506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS doesn't start until April, but we are planning for me to do drop offs and him to do pickups. He is more of a morning person and likes to be at work for 7, which is when DCP opens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431451 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:12:07 +0000 Cherrybee 2431451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. DH works long, inflexible hours and has to leave the house too early/ is home too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431448 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:10:11 +0000 edelweiss 2431448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DillonLion: same here! i'm going to enjoy it while it lasts, as it will probably change when kindergarten starts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431444 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:08:49 +0000 winniebee 2431444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. School is 830-330 and DH is usually gone 630-6 or later. Once in a blue moon he can do pick up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431441 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:07:27 +0000 psw27 2431441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both, DH works long hours so he isn't usually around. Maybe 1-2 days a week he comes to pick up. It's such a grind on me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431330 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:20:12 +0000 tinyperson 2431330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does drop off and pickup. He works a 5 minute walk from home and from daycare, and I work downtown. If he has a late meeting, I can work from home and do the dropoff/pickup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431326 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:18:33 +0000 rachiecakes 2431326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH heads out to work at 1pm and drops J at preschool. I pick him up on the way home from my work between 4:30-5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431321 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:16:11 +0000 BeachMama 2431321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. DH commutes over an hour to work each way which doesn't give him time to do either. Sometimes if he gets off early he'll do pick up. I would love to be able to run to the store without both kids, but for the most part it's not possible </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431319 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:15:42 +0000 .twist. 2431319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The daycare is across the street from our house. So we both do it. Pretty convenient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431317 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:14:44 +0000 DillonLion 2431317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do both! We all commute together :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431204 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:29:28 +0000 Littlebit 2431204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does both usually. Once or twice a week I'll do pick up, but very rarely drop off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431202 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:28:09 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2431202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all drop offs and pick ups. I work closer to the daycare, and I made a decision to do all the drop/pick ups because it will force me to leave work at a designated time every day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431189 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:25:06 +0000 petunia354 2431189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do drop off and pick up at my mom's house everyday. It's tiring just because she always wants to chit chat and I just want to get outta there and go home with DS after a long work day! But I don't want to hurt her feelings so I typically end up staying for a few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up#post-2431187 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:23:18 +0000 snowjewelz 2431187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH drops off, my mom picks up! </p>
