[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.

Absolutely not. Remote work is a blessing for Moms. I was never able to make it work with kids and weird scheduled spouse before remote work became a thing, but suddenly I had the flexibility to earn a paycheck, albeit at a 50k "crap job". Now they want me schlep downtown daily. That's not quite what I signed up for, and it's only marginally worth it. I'm only still hanging on because I'm hopeful someone will come to their senses sooner or later. [/quote]
