He has work dinners a couple of nights a week or is out of town a couple of nights.<br /> Who does childcare pickup? We have a nanny. DH does morning and I do afternoon.<br /> Are you / your spouse happy with this arrangement? Yes very. It'll be very different next year when we don't have a nanny anymore, but he will still do morning and I will do afternoon.<br /> If you could change anything, would you? I'd like to have an extra hour before needing to be home a couple of days a week so I could exercise, but otherwise I'm happy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069483 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 23:16:35 +0000 hellobeeboston 2069483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drop off at 8 am. Dh picks up at 5:45/6. Some days I do pick up but it's pretty rare. I am usually home between 6:15 and 6:45. This is working for us for now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069478 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 23:04:35 +0000 yellowbird 2069478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time do you get home?

We both wish he was home earlier<br /> If you could change anything, would you? I would change dhs hours and commute! Being home by 5 would be amazing!!! Lo is usually in a bad mood by the time he gets here and it's dinner bath and bed for her. I think that's why she has a huge mommy preference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069472 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:51:22 +0000 Grace 2069472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time do you get home? 5:00<br /> What time does your spouse get home? 5:30-ish<br /> Who does childcare pickup? Me<br /> Are you / your spouse happy with this arrangement? Yes, but it would be better if we'd get home earlier. I find it a rush in the evening. But, to get home earlier, I'd have to get LO up earlier and she needs the sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069449 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 22:23:57 +0000 DillonLion 2069449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We all commute together and do drop off and pick up together. We get home about six. I mean, I wish our days weren't so long (we leave the house at 7am) but otherwise it is manageable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069403 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 21:41:06 +0000 Corduroy 2069403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time do you get home? 5:15<br /> What time does your spouse get home? 6:45<br /> Who does childcare pickup?

Drop off DD at daycare a little before 7am, get to work at 7:30. Leave work around 4:20 and pick up DD before 5pm.<br /> It works pretty well most of the time, I just can't run errands after work in town since I have to book it back to pick up DD. Fortunately our daycare is down the road from our house so at least that part is convenient. It would be nice if DH could do drop offs sometimes but he leaves before me in the mornings and daycare doesn't open that early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069352 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:48:00 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2069352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do drop off at 7:30 (when center opens) and get to work by 8. </p> <p>DH goes in early at 7:30, so he gets off at 4:30, gets the kids and home by 5:15. </p> <p>I get off at 5 (ish) and home by about 5:45.

DH gets home at around 6:30. The arrangement has been working really well so far actually since I have to leave so early to catch a train in the morning and DH does dropoff. </p> <p>I mean, if I could change anything I would make my commute shorter so I could spend more time with DH in the morning and pick up DS earlier, but this is the tradeoff I had to accept for a great career opportunity. For now it's working though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069339 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:34:05 +0000 Smurfette 2069339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time do you get home? 515-530.

If we run errands it's 5 or later. LO and I commute together for 50 minutes each way (well, 50 min for her. More like an hour and five min for me with her pick up and drop off).</p> <p>My husband leaves at 8 am and gets home at 7:30 or so each night.</p> <p>I would change all kinds of things if I could, hehe. I wish I didn't commute with LO, I wish DH got home earlier. I wake up early with LO and DH doesn't get home till she's ready for bed so I solo parent every night basically and I never get 1 second outside the work day without her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069308 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:06:38 +0000 mrsjazz 2069308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>-I get home between 6:30 and 7 p.m.<br /> -He should get home by 6, but is always late!<br /> -He does pick-up and both of our nannies have complained about him being late all the time. Pick-up is at 6.<br /> -DH is not that happy about it. Honestly, he is a teacher so should have no problem getting home on time but he stays after work to do meetings, grade, planning, so he ALWAYS leaves late and has a 45min-1hr commute.<br /> -If I could change anything I'd be able to do pick-up, too. And this will actually change when I start my new job in a few weeks, I will go back to working 9-5 (was working 10-6) and I will be also be able to do pick-up, too. (I do drop-off). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woh-parents-what-time-do-you-get-home#post-2069304 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 20:01:39 +0000 mediagirl 2069304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time do you get home?<br /> What time does your spouse get home?<br /> Who does childcare pickup?<br /> Are you / your spouse happy with this arrangement?<br /> If you could change anything, would you? </p>
