[quote=Anonymous]Day to day care: I chose a daycare with extended hours since I was out of the house from 8-6:30. Days where i got a call to pick them up early for illness or injury: since i take an express bus and metro to work, its unavailable during the day and I wouldn’t make it to daycare within the required hour window. I used to take the metro to my usual stop and catch an uber to my house to drive to daycare. Took forever. Snow days/sick days: burned through all my leave. Projects completely stopped while I was out. Tasks had to be given to coworkers, breeding resentment. We didn’t take vacations for several years in order to preserve leave. I was job hunting when COVID hit because the lack of flexibility was causing so much stress. Barely saw my kids because it was just about bedtime when I got home each night. [/quote]
