[quote=Anonymous]We only have one kid, but had two FT jobs when he was an infant. It was hard. We went to work fairly early in the morning, picked him up as soon as we could, and enjoyed our evenings. We had no family help as they aren't nearby and we had a great in home daycare. But the slog got to me fairly quickly. It got worse when he was diagnosed with SN at 2 and needed early interventions. We were able to make it work for about a year, but after that I was just losing it weekly. I ended up going PT with work and have been that way for five years now. It works out well and we manage better with one of PT and living close to school. DH has about a 45 min commute (not right now) and I work at home. I realize I'm really lucky, but I think one of the halfway decent things to come out of Covid is that more arrangements like this will be possible. [/quote]
