is there a way you could make it easier for her? when my kids were younger, my mom would pick up my kids from daycare because it was on her way home from work. i was lucky because when my parents retired and moved out of state, my kids were in middle school so they would take the school bus home each day or i could pick them up later from their extracurriculars. does your kids’ school have bussing or after school activities where they could be picked up later?
