I do drop off because DH goes to work at 5am. I drop T off around 7:30-7:45 and I'm at work at 8. DH picks him up because he gets off earlier than I do (about 3:30)and it's on his way home, versus a huge trip out of the way for me.
-
It depends on the day of the week. My schedule changes from day-to-day. When I don't have to go in early or stay late, then I do dropoff and pickup. Otherwise DH does it.

I do both drop off and pick up.

It varies completely dependent on our schedules. My schedule changes every semester and DH's changes every quarter.
For this quarter, he will do drop offs every morning because I need to be at class or work by 8am 5x a day, whereas he often doesn't have to start until 9 or 10 some days. Some days I will be done by 4 or 5 and get him, other days I work late, so he gets him at 6. Daycare is right next door, so it works fine either way.
It would be different if daycare was next to one of our jobs - I would probably either try to divvy it up so we both take turns, or have the person whose work daycare is closest to, take on the responsibility. But you have to take LO's needs into consideration. If she's unhappy getting up and ready an extra hour earlier, there has to be some collaboration on what works best.

Hubs drops off and I pick up. That way he can stay at work late should he need to (he has his own company). I need to be at work by 9, and since I work for a company, he understands that and does the drop off. Plus, LO is more attached to me than daddy so she doesn't fuss for him when he drops her off, but when I do the occasional drop off, she cries and says, "I stay with mommy" when I drop her off.
-
We haven't started yet but when we do, I'll do both drop offs and pick ups bc the times fall within dh's work schedule: he works 8-5 and she'll be in daycare 8-3. my schedule is mostly flexible
-
My husband works 6am-6pm (at the earliest) with an hour commute, both of which are outside the daycare's operating hours, so I do both drop off and pick up (and getting ready and bedtime...).
-
So, in a lesson for the future, I completely overreacted. DH just wanted to talk about me making sure I'm gone before she wakes up, because if she can hear me moving around, she pitches a fit when I'm not in the house in the morning.
Lesson learned. *smackshead*

@BlueWolverine: OMG, hahahaha! So glad that you and your husband are still on the same page about handling drop off/pick-up and that what you thought was the issue wasn't! I guess you need to sneak out of the house more quietly in the morning?
-
I've always done all drop offs and pick ups. It would be nice to have a break but DH isn't here during the week.
-
@BlueWolverine: ha!
-
Most days we ride together so we do both together. On days we don't ride together it is pretty evenly split! However, I'm solely in charge of morning and night duty 99% of the time.
-
We vary it every day depending on our schedule.
-
Since my son is a late-riser (usually 8am), our plan is to have my Mom do the morning dropoffs. We haven't started daycare yet, but plan to within the next couple months. My husband works 7am-3:30pm and when school starts back up, I will be at work from 8am - 4/4:30pm each day. As a result, my mom has offering to help with dropoffs. She will also do pickups at 2:30 and watch him for a couple hrs until my husband gets home from work. It's not the most conventional method, but I'm hoping it will work for us.
-
@BlueWolverine: Glad it was something else and you don't have to change up your mornings.
I do both. Mainly because we only have one car seat in my car. Hopefully in the next month or so we can get a second seat and DH can either do drop off.

@BlueWolverine: haha! Glad you don't have to change up your routine!
