I think my commuting days are over.

They grow up fast enough. Think of it as an opportunity.

How old are the kids? Can they get themselves off to the bus, even just once a week?

I could trust my 11 year old on her own pretty well (although getting her moving in the morning is a challenge!) but my nine year old is profoundly autistic and can never be left alone. Someone will still need to be putting him on the bus when he's 21. This is also why before school care is not possible--there are a couple of after-care options for him, but there are no before care programs that can take him. We talked to one neighbor about possibly getting the kids on the bus, but she has younger kids and was hesitant to take on my son (he can get aggressive and hurt himself and others).

Sorry to hear that, Sarah.

I'll miss reading your commuting stories.

+ 1 for "on hiatus". Sorry to hear about it, and here's to future opportunities...

awwww man.

Bummer that your commutes are over for the time being, but I guess it's a good thing since DH is working again. Mixed emotions, I guess.
Maybe some time in the future your schedule's can be worked out andn you can commute again.
