-I get home between 6:30 and 7 p.m.
-He should get home by 6, but is always late!
-He does pick-up and both of our nannies have complained about him being late all the time. Pick-up is at 6.
-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.
-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).

--I get home with LO between 4:45 and 5.
--DH gets home around the same time.
--I do pick up (DH does drop off).
--Yes, we're happy with it.
--I mean I wish I got off of work earlier but I'd have to reduce my hours and it's not worth the money we'd lose by doing that.

I drop off and pickup. I get off work at 4:30 and pick up LO and we are home by 4:45. DH doesn't get home until 8-10pm. Not happy with him working so late but nothing we can do about that!

I get home by 5:45pm after picking up DS at daycare. 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.

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!

I get home at 5pm.
DH gets home at 6pm.
I do drop offs and pick ups. 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.
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.

What time do you get home? Around 6
What time does your spouse get home? It varies, but rarely earlier than 9.
Who does childcare pickup? Me
Are you / your spouse happy with this arrangement? Eh. I don't mind the pick-up, but we both wish he could be home earlier to spend more time with us. As it is, he usually only sees E for a few minutes in the morning.

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.

What time do you get home? Between 4-4:30
What time does your spouse get home? 6:15
Who does childcare pickup? Me
Are you / your spouse happy with this arrangement? We both wish he was home earlier
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.

What time do you get home? 4 (I leave at 6:45 when Lo and DH are still sleeping)
What time does your spouse get home? 6 or 10. He has work dinners a couple of nights a week or is out of town a couple of nights.
Who does childcare pickup? We have a nanny. DH does morning and I do afternoon.
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.
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.
