[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not my boss but my coworkers who have definitely pressured me to choose to go back to the office.  The non-parents and [b]parents of older kids[/b] in my department have started complaining and making comments about those of us with young kids not “carrying our load”.  DH can continue to work from home or go in on a staggered schedule as is everyone.

We hired a good nanny for our rising first grader and 2.5 yr old.  Our older child is in private school and the school hasn’t announced it’s plan and we just decided to keep our toddler home from preschool for the next year.   [/quote]

Wow this surprises me. All my coworkers with older kids constantly tell me they have no idea how I’m managing with 2 under 5. I guess your coworkers must be much older to have completely forgotten how hard young kids can be even without a pandemic and full time job to deal with.[/quote]

PP here and yes, they say stuff like that but also add things like “... well with your lack of a commute... “ and “I wish I could be in yoga pants all day” and “luck you! “.  I understand it.  I do.  And if I were working from home with no little kids here this would be a dream job.
