WWYD? Regarding sharing drop off/pick up responsibilities with DH

We car-pool a daughter to and from the babysitters along with our friends son. We live really close to each other but 1/2 hour away from the babysitter, but it isnt as bad as it sounds since we pick up or drop off each others kids. Our friends schedule just changed (now has to go in an hour earlier) and now we have to decide between the following options: (these are really the only options because of all of our schedules)Option 1. I take the kids, meaning I have to get up even earlier (I am NOT a morning person) while our friend picks the kids up every day. That gives DH an hour or so after work of free time, but he is a busy body so he is likely to use that time wisely (chores, groceries, etc). Option 2. Our friend brings the kids and my DH picks them up. That takes away his free hour of productivity, but gives me about 45 minutes of me time in the morning to get ready (I have about 20 now, and am late to work every day). I want to do whats best for our family, but part of me is torn (both for selfish reasons). I dont know which I want more- some free time to get ready in the morning, or for DH to be able to have some time to get stuff done around the house.Tell me your thoughts...

Re: WWYD? Regarding sharing drop off/pick up responsibilities with DH
If your friend can do either pick up or drop off, could you guys have a rotating schedule?
Week 1: friend brings, DH picks up
Week 2: you bring, friend picks up
And rotate back and forth with this schedule, that way one week you'll get an extra hour in the am, then the next week, your DH gets the extra hour in the afternoon?
If that's not an option, then I say go for DH picking up, since he is a man and therefore has more free time by default.
