[quote=Anonymous]It’s fine when you have a workaround, but what’s up with this? I have had THREE friends where one of the parents works outside of the home and the other WFH, and they think, we can do this without a nanny or daycare! When the baby was a newborn and sleeping a lot, and through the potato phase where it really did nothing all day, and even through the early, immobile stages, it worked out fine. Now all of a sudden the baby is crawling and sleeping less and they are completely dumbfounded that this isn’t going to be sustainable. Now there is a fourth who keeps calling on me or my teen daughter to rescue her towards the end of her work day, because she’s overwhelmed. What’s the mindset here? Is it cheapness? Grandiosity? Ignorance? To me it would be so blatantly obvious that this would not ever work as a long-term solution. And still, instead of throwing money at the issue, they scramble and complain. [/quote]
