Keep him home with me, Pick him up early, or Send him all day.... what would you do?
I don't work on Fridays. So on Fridays I keep the baby with me. My dilema is what to do about bs3. During the week he goes to daycare and does preschool in the am. The skids go to the same daycare after school and I pick them all up together.
Last year the daycare had us not coming on Fridays due to the skids behavior. Well, now the kids can go all five days of the week (dh worked it out with them). For the past two weeks (since the skids got back from summer visitation) I have had legitimate reasons to keep BS home with me on Friday. Well now school has started and I am not sure what to do.
Keep BS home with me all day: I want my son with me when its possible and since I am home I don't feel the need to send him to daycare. But on the other hand he does have Jr preschool in the am, so its not just daycare.
Pick BS up early right after preschool ends: that way hw gets to go to school and keep up with the lessons and I still get some one on one time with just me and my.boys. downside is that I would be making an extra round trip to the daycare and I will have to justify it to Dh. He would counter with: just wait the extra two hours and get ALL the kids. And I don't have a good reason (other than I don't want to spend time with your kids) as to why I would pick my son up at noon, but leave his there til six when they close.
Just leave BS there all day: this way I don't have to hear any shit from Dh or the skids, and would probably get more done on my day off. But then I don't ever get time with my kids without he skids being there.
What would you do?

Get your son @ noon ! He
Get your son @ noon ! He needs some mommy time.
I know where your coming from. My SD8 has lived with us full time for 6 years. And not that I don't love her. And that I don't want her around. It's not her fault that I have to be her "mom". It's the POSBM's fault. But I do feel it takes away from my kids. So when I can spend some alone time with my kids I do.
And if the drive is too far and turns out to be a waste of gas.
I wouldn't send him at all on Fridays.
I used to give into the guilt
I used to give into the guilt and pick up everyone - now I don't. I leave the skids and pick my bios up and spend my earned time off with my bios directly.
BM and DH are both welcome to use their hard earned time off to do the same.
The skids are 9 and 10, and
The skids are 9 and 10, and in real school all day.
BS is 3 and in half day preschool at the daycare.
