Welcome Marco!

Fingers crossed that all goes well for you and N for the arrival of #2… keep me posted.

Your point about driving is a good one, and I used to drive to work when I worked on the same side of the city that I live and it saved me an hour a day. Now it’s much of a muchness, and considerably cheaper on the train so I take that.

As the years go by I’ll likely return to driving so I have a bit more flexibility.

I’m very much in the same boat myself. We have a two and a half year old boy and a second baby due literally any day now. At the same time, my workload looks like increasing very soon – but on the other hand, my office will shortly relocate which will actually put it closer to home in terms of distance (but with no real benefit in terms of travel time).

Like you, I am out the door at 7:15 or so most mornings, and get home at 6pm if I’m lucky, more commonly 6:30. And again, like you, on most nights I have other work that I do after bath and bedtime.

From where I sit, the best solution I’ve been able to come up with is to actually drive to work after the move. Not particularly planet-friendly and completely at odds with my public transport philosophy…but it will buy me another hour a day at home.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the feedback! Each of these posts is a personal recollection, so if you do want to reproduce any of them, we can discuss the best way to do that. Drop me an email and we’ll sort something out.

Cheers.
