Neither of is do. My mom handles it, going on 4 years now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490724 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:46:25 +0000 lilyann 2490724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. Daycare is 5 blocks from my work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490532 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:35:32 +0000 littlebittyhouse 2490532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. DH takes public transportation a 5 minute walk from our house. Sometimes I will pick him up at the station near my work and we will do pickup together which I really like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490514 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:32:23 +0000 catlady 2490514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, always me. I have a walking commute and it's on my way, so it seems fair. However, I have asked DH to help out occasionally because LO has started getting tough in the evenings, so he may start to do pick up more often soon (but still only like once a week, if that). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490492 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:25:20 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2490492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both--for 3 day a week, morning preschool. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490477 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:23:25 +0000 Charm54 2490477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. DH works 35 minutes out of town..he leaves at like 6:30 and only gets home around 6:00. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490466 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:20:24 +0000 MrsBrewer 2490466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. My babysitter lives 5 minutes away from my work, so it would be silly to have DH do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490446 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:15:35 +0000 gingerbebe 2490446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do drop off MWF. DH does drop off T, Th.</p> <p>I pick up on W and sometimes M if DH can't. DH does pick up M when he can, and T, Th, Fr. </p> <p>So I guess its pretty even? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490423 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:08:59 +0000 Jess1483 2490423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do it 90% of the time, my mom does it 10% of the time (she calls it the "grandma bus,") and DH does it about 5% of the time. Including today! It was Daddy Drop-off Day, and they got donuts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490416 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:06:34 +0000 kodybear 2490416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i do both since dh has more strict work hours. :-/ hes on a school schedule tho so when he has holidays, he helps with pickup! dropoff is usually easy, pickup can get crazy! (aka yesterday my 1.5 yo was tantruming while i was holding him and their lunchboxes/waters to the car. i'm pretty sure i looked like a frazzled mom!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2490403 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 14:00:06 +0000 alphagam84 2490403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I do drop off and pick up as DD's daycare is at work for 7 weeks. When she starts the regular daycare the husband will drop her off and I'll pick her up. It's about 2 miles from our house so not far for either of us to drive and I get out of work by 4:30 so I can get her home much sooner than DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489766 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:41:08 +0000 tinyperson 2489766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does dropoff/pickup 95% of the time because he works across the street from daycare, and I work downtown or at home. On rare occasions when he has training or downtown meetings or late meetings, I'll do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489713 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:22:15 +0000 nana87 2489713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both almost always bc dh works 8-5, and drop off starts at 8 and pick up is 2:45, so he'd have to talk time off. plus, my work is 2 blocks from daycare. we've started having him do drop off once a week or so if I am working from home that day and he doesn't have meetings right away/can start a bit late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489697 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:19:51 +0000 lovehoneybee 2489697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both. D works a different shift, so he's never out in time for pick-up. Occasionally if I'm running very late D will drop-off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489687 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:15:59 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2489687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to do both and it was kinda a pain. Made my days very long. Now we split it up and its much better. But next year DD goes to K and we will have two locations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489681 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:15:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2489681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH does drop off, my mom does pick up. Rarely I will drop off if DH has early meetings. I have picked up when DD got sick at school a few times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489680 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:14:57 +0000 LulaBee 2489680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD2 doesn't have a spot at DD1's daycare yet, so I do drop off for DD2 and hubby does DD1. I do pick up for both. Once they're in the same place, I'll do both drop off and pick up, as hubby doesn't work anywhere near their schools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489673 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:12:30 +0000 Mamaof2 2489673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both - DH commutes 90 mins to work in the opposite direction and leaves before we wake up and gets home after us </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489670 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 09:11:29 +0000 petitenoisette 2489670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both plus she commutes with me 35-45 minutes to daycare. We actually work very similar hours and are on a waiting list for a daycare that opens up early enough for us so when she gets in there (which will probably not be til school year 2017-18) we will split much more evenly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489623 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:50:01 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2489623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We split drop off depending on his work schedule. I always do pickup because it's in the middle of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489616 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:47:00 +0000 winniebee 2489616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have always had to do both. My husbands work hours don't permit him to do it. Now that we have a part time nanny she tends to do pick ups. On a very rare occasion (maybe once every few months) my husband can do a drop off or pick up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489609 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:45:50 +0000 avivoca 2489609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do. Perks of having one vehicle I suppose, but on mornings like today I wish I had done it myself. Tantrum city. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489580 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:35:39 +0000 erinbaderin 2489580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband does drop off, and I usually do pickup, unless he works from home (he likes getting the happy faces). I'm about to be on mat leave for a year, though, so that might change once we get settled. It would be nice to not have to wake B up at 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489576 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:34:06 +0000 lamariniere 2489576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently do both 95% of the time. Occasionally my husband will do drop off, but daycare closes at 4:30, so there's no way he can do pickup. When my older LO starts school this fall we are going to have to divide and conquer with drop off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-drop-offpick-up-1#post-2489570 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 08:30:55 +0000 mediagirl 2489570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has it ever been different?</p> <p>Currently I do drop-off and he does pick-up. Once he finds a job, I'll probably do both for a while. Her new daycare will be near my work so I don't really mind. </p>
