If I have to drop future-LO off on the way, I'll have to leave earlier, which sounds awful.</p> <p>I'm hoping we can find a place close enough that DH can do drop-off around 7:45 on his way to work, but he walks to the subway, so it has to be somewhere walking distance and all those places have waiting lists.</p> <p>I get home around 4, so would be picking up LO anywhere from 4-4:15. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563844 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:29:02 +0000 prettylizy 563844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will leave between 8-8:15 to drop her off, work 'till 5, home by 5:30-5:45 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563840 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:27:59 +0000 mrskc 563840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now I'm only half days as part of my mat leave.

The other 2 days DH 'drops off' to me in our home office at 8 and I start at 6:15 to get some uninterupted work time and work until noon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563798 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:11:36 +0000 mamabolt 563798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leave home between 7:20 and 7:40, pick up between 5 and 5:30, home between 5:30 and 6. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563796 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:11:13 +0000 LC 563796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do both pick up and drop off since DH and I work the same hours but his commute is much longer. Here's my schedule:<br /> 7:50 leave house<br /> 8:00 drop off LO at daycare, at work by 8:20<br /> 5:00 leave work<br /> 5:20 pick up LO from daycare, home by 5:30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563774 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:05:25 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 563774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drop off &amp; my husband picks up. So:</p> <p>Leave home - 7:00<br /> Drop off LO - 7:15<br /> At work (elementary school) - 7:45<br /> Husband picks up LO - 4:15<br /> I'm home - 5:00</p> <p>Somedays I skive off early and get home at 4:30/4:45, but usually that bites me in the ass later when I have a million things to do over the weekend. </p> <p>I don't know how some of you do those long days!! I'm majorly impressed. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563749 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 13:00:58 +0000 Bookish 563749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Schedule now:</p> <p>7:20 leave house, at work by 7:35<br /> 3:35 leave work, home by 4</p> <p>When baby comes (I'm guesstimating):<br /> 6:45 leave house, work by 7:15<br /> DH will take LO to daycare at 7:45am to get to wok by 8<br /> 3:15 leave work, pick up LO at daycare by 330, home by 345<br /> DH will leave work at 5 and be home 530ish</p> <p>That's the plan, at least! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563702 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:44:04 +0000 littlek 563702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahaha... this is my biggest struggle....</p> <p>When I'd like to leave- 7:30 a.m.<br /> When I actually leave- between 7:30 a.m. - 8:15 a.m.<br /> Pick up LO at daycare at 5:30 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563660 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:28:21 +0000 LindsayInNY 563660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depends. If I go to the office, I leave between 6:30 (early slash non-hair washing days) and 7:30 (normal hair washing days). If I'm in Court, sometimes I can leave at 8:30. Sigh. I get home around 8:30-45 most nights. The condo we're trying to buy is located 15 minutes from work so I'll lose the commute but DH will gain it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563655 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:26:16 +0000 yellowbird 563655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I leave at 7:20 at the latest and get home between 5:30-45. Fridays are the best because I leave at 7:45 and get home at 1:00! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563641 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:21:00 +0000 cascademom 563641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually leave the house by 8am at the latest. A lot of that depends lately on LO's wakeup and night. I get home around 5:30p.m. Almost immediately after, I pick LO up from the daycare since I don't want him to be the last kid there. He's usually hanging out with another kid whose mom has a similar schedule to mine.</p> <p>I work from home one day a week which tends to be my laundry and chore day in the middle of the week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563635 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:18:45 +0000 pregnantbee 563635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebittyhouse: Depends on the day. For what it's worth, my job classification means that I have to work 9-6 most days and 12-9 one day per week. When I returned from leave, I begged them to let me work 8-5 most days and 12-9 one day. It was a huge deal for them to let me do this at all, and the deal we eventually struck was that I can do this until the end of March and then I have to resume 9-6. Really not looking forward to that, as it means I will only get about 40 min. with LO before his bedtime!</p> <p>On 8-5 days, I leave for work at 7:40 (coffee then work w/ short commute) while DH drops LO at daycare. I pick LO up at 5:15, and we're home by 5:20ish.</p> <p>I work 9-6 some weekend days, so LO is home with DH all day. I leave at 8:40 and get home around 6:20.</p> <p>One day a week I work 12p-9p. On that day I also have morning appointments, so I drop LO at daycare and leave the house around 8:30. DH picks LO up around 5:30, and I don't get home until about 9:20p. As you can imagine, that's my least favorite day of the week. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563632 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:18:15 +0000 purrpletulips 563632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do all drop-offs at sitter, DH usually does pick-up.</p> <p>6:45-leave home<br /> 6:50-arrive at sitter's house<br /> 7:00-7:10-leave sitter's house<br /> 8:00-8:10-arrive at work<br /> 4:30-leave work<br /> 5:15-5:45-arrive at home (depending upon traffic) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563602 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 12:07:20 +0000 Adira 563602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't started this yet because our LO isn't here yet, but the hope is that Hubs will handle day-care drop offs and I'll handle pick-ups. So my goal will be:</p> <p>6:50 - Leave Home<br /> 7:30 - Arrive at Work<br /> 4:30 - Leave Work<br /> 5:15 - Pick up LO from Daycare<br /> 5:30 - Arrive Home</p> <p>Hubs will probably have to leave at 7:00 to drop LO off at daycare before he goes to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wohm-what-time-do-you-leave-in-the-morning-and-get-home-at-night#post-563577 Wed, 13 Feb 2013 11:55:36 +0000 MaisyMay 563577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been leaving at 9:30 and DH gets off at 3 to get LO.
