I have this too – just ask the school if your little ones can stay later OR the older one can be dismissed earlier – my daughter stayed later so I wouldn't have to come at two times!

OR – look for the park!

Oh. My. Goodness!! That is INSANE! I think I might cry over that news. Hopefully you can make a friend or two in your same boat and share the load. Wow girlfriend, now that is a bummer!

better to have love and lost than never to have loved at all sorry, but I was chuckling at your predicament. How many years until your oldest turns 16?

glad you like your house and church!

I don't feel sorry for you. I work full time and would loooooove to pick up my kids from school/daycare even if it was 2 or 3 times a day. Count your blessings.

Oh Girl!! We have been doing the drop off/pick up thing for 7 years now. This past year, we had 4 different times, and when 3days a week when Chisum was at school (daycare) I would have 5. Honestly, you become so used to it. Even during the summer I think at 2:30 I need to get ready to go. It's a pain in the morning's though YUCK!!!

You ARE spoiled! I've never had anyone drop off or pick up my kids. It's always been my job, and mine alone. I've usually had at least 2 different drop off/pick up times and it's always a total lesson in time management. This is one of the MAIN reasons I was so looking forward to this summer. It's the first summer in over 4 years that I've got no kids attending year long school/summer school. So, I finally get a break from the tedious drop off/pick up schedule. Good luck to you….you're gonna need it! Maybe you can arrange some carpools?

Here in N Ireland, school buses are the exception, only a few rural schools have them.

Most kids are taken by parents, childminders.

Next year I will have an 8.30 drop off and an 8.50 drop off (and for the second drop-off I need to take my son right into the class-room, not the school gate).

In the afternoons it will be a 2pm, 3pm and 3.25pm pick up……deep joy

However, I am so glad I can be a sahm at this stage of their lives, TO DO those pick ups that I know I shouldn't really grumble …. but I do!

Well, I'm sure it is a reality for many other people as well.
