[quote=Anonymous]The problem is that what's needed in a dual income household is for both to dial it back. For us a 30 hour week for both would be ideal. But it's not possible. We both work 45-50 hour weeks. Our jobs cannot be part time jobs. And so one person has to quit. DH loves his job more and I could get a job more easily when this is all over. We both could manage the kids and he is a full partner at home. This just isn't workable with school closed. We are somewhat unique in that our jobs are equal- most of my friends have husbands with a higher paying job. And in that case, it's obvious why the wife steps back. It just makes fiscal sense. How about instead of blaming women, why not open the schools?!?! My youngest is in daycare and no cases of covid. [/quote]
