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.
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.
