[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a drawback:  you are potentially spreading the virus and endangering your family and the college kid.  Take care of your own children and stay away from other people!

Why can’t people understand this?  [/quote]

We’re creating smaller social circles.   Some parents have to work.  Better to have one young person in the house providing care, than having the child go to a large group environment.   Some of our changes have to be incremental.   We can’t all be quarantined for the next two months or however long this will take.  [/quote]

Yes, some parents have to work out of the house.  OP isn’t one of them.  [/quote]

I’ve done WAH for many years.  It is difficult to get anything done with little kids in the house.   Sure, a mother’s helper is an imperfect solution, but it’s much better than the alternative of sending the kids to a group setting.   We can’t all stop working for months on end.  It’s not going to happen.  Stop bashing people for doing what they can in the current circumstances.  [/quote]
