Where You Leave Kid After 7yrs? When Day Care Doesn't Take Them

In a similar situation, I have seen moms hiring helpers. Either as a live in maid, who stays 24/7 or part timers who comes in n stays with the child from school time till the parents come in.

We live in a residential society, Usually kids above 10 can take care of themselves,

so say for e.g they reach home at 4pm, they bath, change, eat something, maybe tv, gadgets or homework for sometime.

Then our society offers classes like basketball, football, tennis, martial arts, dance, arts, etc.. depending on the child's preference they pick one or more. N it keeps them busy for sometime.

Even if no classes, many kids are out to play from 5-8pm in the society parks n play grounds.

So for everything, they are safely inside the compound with guards, neighbours who knows the kids n parents n no vehicles zooming at high speed.

After that dinner time, n sleep.

I have also seen the pattern of picking a house closer to atleast one spouse's work place. Even if they own a house, they rent it out n move closer to the office.
Or look for work that let's you work from home atleast for a few days in a week. So that one parent can be available more.

 

Hire help or care takers.

My cousin has hired someone who will give the kid tiffin(prepared by my cousin) and milk , be in the house/play area till one of the parent arrives.
