Uber (or preferred ground transportation). You can expense it. I don't use our black car service, because a) it's too expensive and b) it's not nearly as convenient. That said, I live 8 min from the airport, and my wife usually can be back in bed before I clear security (early flights rock). Same if she can't pick me up when I come home.

He means if the wife can’t drop off the kids 😋

I have no solution on hand, but am also following.

Uber for the kids. Very safe. New driver every time but they’re all very reputable, highly qualified drivers. Just get their first name and let the school know ahead of time that Ahmed will be signing them in. Leave an extra tip via app. Love technology!

There’s a new app called Zum that is designed exactly for this. It’s like Uber but you get a pool of 5 drivers who you meet and it will be one of them doing your runs. Problem is that it is not yet available everywhere in the country. Alternately you can check care.com for a kid picker upper and dropper offerer

Wife stays home :P

BTW, for a few days we used a neighbor's help, coincidentally neighbors kid is in the same class... only a short-term solution though

Grandma is a life saver in our new situation. Previous neighborhood we set up a carpool service with two other families.

Couldn't make it work. Found a project in home location.

We have a baby sitter (UrbanSitter) we use frequently and we have an arrangement for her to help with this. $20 bucks but it makes it work

We pay for a nanny to come get the kids ready and take them to school in the morning.

Grandparents moved in down the street a few years ago has made life much easier. We really miss them when they go on vacation and spouse and I have to negotiate conflicts. We always make it work, but have the grandparents on standby as minimized the need significantly.

Housing crash made it affordable for parents to move here. But if I knew then what I know now, I would have subsidized the move if necessary because it made life so much easier.

My fiancé’s family has a vacation planned at the end of June in Florida (small beach town about 45 mins from PCB). We’d be flying from California if we decide to attend. His family doesn’t seem concerned (ugh whole other story) and the “rules” in Florida are relatively relaxed now (restaurants open etc). I want to go for sanity reasons, but feel like it seems foolish too. What would y’all do? Just wait and see?

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
