[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know zero parents who WFH without childcare. Zero. Even parents of older kids (10+) have childcare. If one of their kids is home while they’re working, it 100% was not intentional.

Most parents of kids ages 2+ don’t want their kids home. They want socialization and enrichment. I would feel guilty as heck keeping my kids home all day so I could ignore them and sit on my computer, just to save $.

In the summers, I pay more than I earn to put my 3 kids in high quality camps. They love it and it makes me feel good knowing they’re having fun with friends and learning new things while I’m working. [/quote]

+1 I'm not believing this is happening at any legit employer

But they are home sick a lot. Don't want to see my kids on calls? Give me more sick days and let me actually take them![/quote]

I actually have the sick days (250 hours accured so far...) but I don't think it would be better for my job if I took them whenever my kids were sick, instead of trying to split the day with my husband and flex hours to make up time later. Less work would definitely get done, I'd miss more meetings, it would be much more noticeable.

I guess this is something employers will have to deal with when they make us RTO 3-4 days a week since we won't be able to flex in their favor anymore. Sure hope they don't penalize us for it. [/quote]
