Right now I do drop off and my husband does pick up. That may change when he finds a job but, we'll see. I like the set-up we have now but I also wouldn't mind picking up, as well as dropping off.
Who does drop off/pick up for you?

When husband is here: Both of us (we only have one car)
When husband is here but traveling: Both of us (he's not allowed to drive kids in the company rentals)
When husband is away: All me (naturally, since he's gone)

I do both, mostly because my mom watches her for us. So I get to chat a bit when I'm there.

Until last week I did drop off and DH did pick up. We are in a very extended process of moving, so for the time being I do both, but when DS starts his new school I will most likely do drop off and DH will pick up, though I think we'll have a lot more flexibility since school will be super close to our house.

Hubby normally does drop off (unless he has an early meeting) and I always do pick up. He has a longer commute and daycare is only about 3 miles from my job so it's easy for me to go there. By him doing drop off I can get in earlier and leave earlier so I pick her up before 4:30 every day

DH does drop off and I do pick up. It made my transition back to work easier not having to do drop off!

DH did drop off and I did pick up when I worked. I usually do both now unless he has the day off.

When DH is deployed I do it all. When he is home, he usually does it all. My work is nice and lets me adjust my hours some when he is gone. I work very early and before daycare opens so I adjust what time I get in when he is gone. But when he is home I go to work normal time, then when I get off its during end of nap time. So I go home and DH gets her so I don't disrupt that.

Dh does both. I work split shifts so I'm gone before everyone is up and am back when the kids are in bed

I do drop off and my husband does pick up. During the school year he can never do drop off since he's a teacher. I help with pick up when he has to work late, etc.

Sweetie typically does two days of both, I do three days of both. Sweetie does the days he works from home. I do the other days because daycare is much closer to my work. I don't have any control over what time I leave work, on the days I can't leave in time for pickup, Sweetie leaves work early to get the baby.

I used to do both, but now DH brings him in 3 days a week, and I do the rest (his schedule never allows him to pick-up).

I do both most of the time. I work a typical 8 - 5 but my husband work 5am to 1pm. I wish he'd pick our little guy up early more often, but on the plus side he usually works on household chores during his baby-free time so I can't complain too much.

We use to take turns with drop off, and usually I would pick DS up. Now that we moved, it will only be me since DS's school is in the city I'll be working in.

I do both most days. When DH isn't traveling he does drop off and I pick up.

Most days, I drop off and he picks up. We both WOH full time and my office is much further from our house/our sitter. If I worked closer, I'd likely do both.

I did it all last school year, but as lo#2 is due a week after school starts, DH will do it all while he's on paternity leave and then he'll do all drop offs thoughout the end of the calendar year.

I do both but every once in awhile my parents or my inlaws have done pickup. When the baby comes this winter my mom says she will do drop off for me for a year and I'll probably still do pick up but she says she can do that for me too

DH drops off about 80% of the time, I do the rest and all the pickups.

We only do part time preschool, but I do both drop-off and pick-up.

I do both! I go in later and get off earlier than DH so it just makes sense. I don't mind though, I like being able to kiss her goodbye and I love picking her up!

Most days I drop off and he picks up. I work later hours so I don't have to rush at the end of the day which is great.

Currently, I do both. My husband might drop them off once a month or so. But that's going to change in September. I'll drop off my son at elementary and DH will drop off DD at daycare (opposite directions), but I will still pick up both of them.

Once my maternity leave is over our kids will go two different places- daycare and preschool. I'll drop off and pick up the baby and DH will handle the preschooler. I dread the nights one of us is busy and the other has to handle both because they're not that close to each other.

We're 50/50 on drop off, and DH usually does pick-up, or we both do when I'm working from home. I have anywhere between an hour & 15 minute to an hour & 45 minute commute to and from work, while DH is about 15 minutes, so he's got easier access to the kids while I'm in the city 3 days/week. Any day I work from home, I'm taking the kiddos in.

I do drop off three mornings a week, my dad does them the other days and he is also the pick up every afternoon.

One does drop off and the other does pick up, but which does which depends on my husband's work schedule, which changes daily. So, if he work early one day, I drop off and he picks up and if he works late the next day, he drops off and I pick up. A bit of a hassle to change from day to day, but it works for us. That being said, I did win the mom of the year award last week when I forgot it was my turn to pick up and was late picking up my son! But that's only happened once in a year, so not the end of the world.

I do all drop offs and then we both do pickup. Daycare is on my campus so it is on my way in every morning.

i do drop offs, husband does pick ups. they used to both go to preschool, but now the older one is in elem school, so that was an adjustment plus the elem school has a later drop off time, so my husband and I both have had to adjust our work schedule--he goes in an hour later so he can take off earlier to pick them up, and I go in an hour later than before. It works out, it makes me wonder how i'd do it if he wasn't here.
