My DH use to travel a bit over an hour (75km) to work & home again. I hated it now that I look back. He was gone usually before the kids got up & home as dinner was put out. I was left to do all the parenting/house duties during the week & then on the weekends he just wanted to stay home. Now he travels about 10 min to work. He his here to help get the kids ready for school & even drops 2 of them off & home just before 5.30. Much happier.
