Since it is around the D.C. area, using the metro system may be an option to reduce driving stress and allow time to decompress between work and home. Wireless technology may provide face time with the kids during the metro ride.
Relocating closer to your place of work is another option.
DC Metro is completely unreliable and even dangerous. I’ve worked in the area for 15 years now, and am looking to make my escape ASAP. It is hell!
