<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

My spouse and I are planning to start a family in the near future, but there's one aspect of our lives that makes us very uneasy.  We're both employed in well-paying, rewarding jobs that we love.  The problem is we both have long commutes (~ 1 hr each way for both of us) and to complicate matters, both commutes are in completely opposite directions.  We work pretty normal hours, usually about 8-5.

We're both concerned about how to manage this once we have kids.  Our intention has always been to enroll our child in daycare once the maternity leave is over but now we're not sure if that's the best course.  We're concerned about being far from the daycare (if it's by our home) or subjecting the baby to a long car ride every day (if it's by one of our workplaces.)  We've also considered hiring an in-home nanny, but we're not sure if we can afford it.  

r/parenting, we need your advice!

Thanks.
