When my DD was an infant I lived close enough to my parents so they would watch her while I worked since I was a single mom. After she started school and I got married we moved away from them so now I go to work later than my DH and 10r old DD goes to the school's after school childcare program because I really don't like my neighbors and would not trust them to watch her. DD does get to see her grandparent's every weekend though because my dad comes and picks her up on Fridays and I go back and get her on Sunday. They only live about 40 minutes away so it's not so bad.
