[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long commutes, long hours, no remote options and work travel and forced after work dinners and drinks are actually good for 90 percent of Moms with young kids.

Two reasons: first

1. 90 percent of jobs are crap. Low paid sit in cube dead end. So 90 percent of people working have a meaningless job with crap pay. 
2. When my three kids were young 1, 5 and 7 I worked a in person job that was demanding and in return got $360k a year and wife stayed home and plenty of money. My wife had a cube level dead end job in a big bank and was more than happy to leave after 14 years of it.

Then Covid hit. I was laid off and all at once my same jobs now remote with tons of flexibility all we’re paying $160k to $170k a $200,000 a year paycut!! My wife could go back to work but she would barely make 100k so we are talking 260k we both work which is $100k less with tons of extra expenses and stress.

Luckily I found a place RTO in 2023 and after three years in pajamas sleeping in for peanuts got back to real pay again. Our stress went away and wife is happy.

in person a blessing 90 percent of Moms.

Your situation is not that common.  I worked from home for 15 years...before and through Covid with flexible scheduling.  Now I work in the office 5 days a week due the same pay (way less than 350k). DW has always needed to work.  I do not know a single mom who considers in person a blessing.[/quote]

But that is your failure not hers. Take a demanding job. They pay more. You should be in the 10 percent high paying jobs not the bottom 90 percent. you spouse should quit and throw a rock on your back to earn more.   [/quote]
