When do you leave the house, and when do you get home?
We have to leave at 7 am and get home shortly after 6 pm. It's a ridiculously long day.

I do drop off and DH does pick up.
I leave the house at 7, drop her off around 705 (our lady's in our subdivision). DH gets off at 2:30, goes home for a bit and then picks her up around 4/4:15.
That is a long day

DH drops off anytime between 7-9. I usually pick up around 5....I clean and do food prep after work.

we're supposed to leave the house around 7am and get back around 5pm. then we have about an hour or so of free time before we start dinner and bedtime routine. that hour of free time can feel like a blessing or a curse depending on the day, but these days i have just been worn out.

Same day as you - it's a VERY long day. By the time we get home, it's practically time for his bedtime.

I leave at 7:45 and get home at 5:15. My husband picks up, otherwise I'd get home at 5:45.

I do pick up and DH does drop off. I leave the house at 6:15 am to make it to work around 6:45. DH leaves around 7:45 and drops off LO at 7:50. I leave work around 4:35 and arrive at the nanny-share house around 5:10. I usually spend 15-20 min chatting with the nanny andother mom and get hope about 5:30.

When DH is traveling, we leave at 710 and get home 5/515.
When DH is home, he takes her around 830/845. Get home the same time since I do pick up.

I leave at 7:15, drop off at 7:30. DH and I both do pick depending on the day. If he picks up, he gets LO around 4 and I get home around 4:15-4:30. If it's my day to get him, we get home around 4:45.

Um, both my DH and I leave before 7 and get home after 6 and we don't yet have daycare drop-off.

When I work fully (currently on mat leave) we leave at 8:20am and get home around 6pm. Now we usually leave later 8:30/8:35am and I pick him up earlier too so usually we're home by 5:30pm.

We both do drop off and pick up because our LO's daycare is in between our work places. We all leave the house around 7:45 or 8 and get home around 6:30 to 6:45 depending on traffic. I hear you on long days.

We leave between 8:15 and 8:30 and get home between 5:30 and 6. I work much closer to daycare and to home than DH so I do both the drop off and pickup.

Luckily it's right down the street and we both have very short commutes. My husband drops off at 8:00 and I pick up at 4:00.

We leave somewhere between 7:00-7:15am and get home between 4:30-4:45 depending on traffic.

We both leave the house at 8 and pick the kids up around 5, home by 5:30.

Ours won't be too different. DH will drop off DS at around 8:30 am (daycare is practically next door to us) and I will probably be there to pick him up by around 5:30pm. It's going to be an adjustment considering he normally eats dinner at 4:45pm! Very thankful to have a job though so I'm not complaining.

We try to leave the house around 8:30 to get to daycare by 9. DH usually picks her up by 4ish, but a couple days a week she's there until 5-5:30. We're lucky that our commute isn't that bad and daycare is across the street from my office/3 blocks from DH's, so there's not a lot of extra time spent getting from one place to another.

I leave for work at 5:50am so DH always does drop off which varies between 7:30-9:30 depending on his work day and I pick up at 4:15, home around 4:30.

Same here If i want to make it to work for 8am I need to leave 6:45am. then i leave work at 4:45 and walk in my door at 6:15.
Really sucks if there's any errands that need to be run after work

We leave at 8-8:10 and arrive at daycare around 8:30-8:40 and I pick him up around 5:15 and we get home around 5:45. I only get about an hour with him awake at night

Every day is different for us, which can be tricky.... But we divide and conquer so the girls usually leave at 8 and get home by 6.

We leave the house sometime between 8 and 8:30, then I come home immediately after since I WAH and daycare is a 2 minute walk. I usually pickup around 4, but daycare closes at 4:30.

Ideally, I leave the house by 8:15, but lately it's closer to 9:00. Daycare is a short walk from the house. I usually walk back home to gather my things, then catch a bus for school shortly after. DH picks LO up by 5.

I leave at 7am, DH takes LO to daycare at 7:25. I get home with LO between 5:15 and 5:45 depending on traffic. DH gets home around 6:15.

I leave between 7:10-7:15, drop E off at 7:35ish, and get to work at 7:55. At night I get off at 5, pick E up at around 5:20 and we get home a few minutes before 6.

I leave at 7:30am, drop her off at 7:45 and am at work for 8:00. I finish at 3:00, run errands then pick her up at 3:45, I am usually home around 4:00

We leave home at 715am and don't get home until 745pm. We both work in Manhattan and live in Brooklyn, so the commute in itself in around 25 minutes in the morning and 30-40 minutes at night. I work 745-6 And DH works 9-6 so we drop the girls off at my parents who help us drop off/pick up DD1 at daycare and my mom watches DD2 for us. After work it's a mad dash to pick up the girls and we bath them at my parents before rushing home to get them both in bed by 8. It's ridiculous but the trade off to my long work day is that I get Friday's off.
I just read what I typed and I'm tired from reading it.
