Hope you'll adapt.

Get assistance.

Change jobs.

Move closer to your new job.

Have your kids commute with you and go to daycare/school closer to your job.

Rework your work schedule so you are commuting outside of regular commute hours.

Any more ideas?



It sounds like you aren't likely to adapt. That option is a non-starter.

I don't know what resources you have to find assistance, but I know how hard that can be. Probably also a non-starter.

You're exploring changing jobs already.

Moving closer is easier said than done.

Having your kids commute with you makes you be on time and gives them more time with you, but under suboptimal conditions (in the car). I don't know how hard this would be to set up. My mother did that with me at one point for a year.

I have reworked my schedule for exactly that reason. I suspect that I have more flexibility there than you do though.

I hope that something works out.

Cheers,
Ben
