Ex. :o) Haley spent daily time for years with her Grandmother and her aunt. During her elementary school years her aunt picked her up after school everyday and took care of her. I picked Haley up there everyday. Haley saw her Aunt and Grandmother everyday until she was 12 and became a 'latchkey kid.'


>>Exactly. :0( However, all of last year I was driving the same distance from the office to here and back Friday night and Sunday night down and back again plus at least one night during the week. My driving time has actually gone down if I only go in to the office one day a week :o) My daughter's grandmother has been ill and we share the responsibility of taking care of her 3 days a week. My work let me move here to make it easier for awhile.

>>>So that's 10 hours a week if you drive twice and 15 hours if three times. IOW the equivalent of a daily commute of 90 minutes each way, just distributed differently. Yuck.
