Anyone else have 3 children in 3 different schools
or daycares? Last year I dropped off DS1 to before care in Shoreham, DD at my sisters in Medford and DS2 at preschool in Patchogue. My mornings were so full of stress!
This year my oldest son is going to Boces so the bus will pick him up and drop him off at our home (which I wish was going to be less stress, but its not) Im concerned b/c the bus is supposed to arrive at 7:35 and I usually NEED to leave for work BY 7:30. Then hes supposed to be dropped off by about 3:30 and I dont get home until 4:00! I am stressing! Then I need to drop off my son at a neighbors and drop my daughter off at preschool. After school I have to get my daughter, wait at my house for DS1 to be dropped off and then go to DS2s school to pick him up!
OMG. Its so confusing! I dont know how I am going to do it. Tell me Im not alone!

Re: Anyone else have 3 children in 3 different schools
Sounds like a busy schedule! Mine are in 2 different schools- Unfortunately, we live too close to the school to receive bus transportation, so I have to do drop offs and pick ups. Drop off DS at 8:00, drop off DD at 1:00, pick up DS at 2:25, pick up DD at 3:30. The drop off/pickup of DS isn't quick and easy- Drop off is over 10 min (plus travel time) and pickup is usually 20+ min. of standing outside the school and waiting - hot, cold, rain, wind, snow... Luckily, I work at home- however, at the end of the day, I don't feel like I have accomplished much.

Re: Anyone else have 3 children in 3 different schools
I will have 2 kids in 2 different schools starting tomorrow. One gets the bus at 7:30 and one I have to drop off, and I need to be at work by 8. Then on the backend I need to pick them both up before 6pm, even though I work until 5:30 at least and their schools are NOT near each other at all. I am very worried about this and I know the daily stress level is about to skyrocket. I don't have any idea how people do this.

Re: Anyone else have 3 children in 3 different schools
this year we will have three schools/locations (well actually 4, DS#2 will go to 2 different half day programs)
I will drop off DD at daycare on my way to work.
DH will get #2 on the bus at 8:30 and #1 on the bus at 9.
#2 takes the bus from school to a different daycare.
I get off at 3:30. run home to the busstop at 4 to get #1, go to #2's daycare and then go to #3 daycare.
Oh man - I feel bad for DH on faculty meeting days when I can't do pick up!
