Can't offer anything much more helpful than an "us too"; DS was never keen. We were fortunate to be able to juggle our work hours so he didn't often have to, and he understood when occasionally we couldn't. He's done just fine with a longer school day now he's older, and chooses to do several late clubs on top, but this is much more purposeful and involves less interaction - I think it was classic introvert stuff, by 3pm he'd just had enough of people!
