[quote=Anonymous]DH is a first responder, so I am one of the 66% of women who take on the bulk of childcare duties. I also work FT, and DD only does well with virtual schoolwork if I’m sitting with her and talking her through it. So that means I’ve been mom, employee, and teacher every single day for almost a year now. It used to be that when I was at home, I was just in mom mode. When I was at work, I could devote 100% of my attention to the job. Now, nobody gets 100%. My attention is always divided. It’s exhausting. There are exactly two things keeping me employed: 1) We need the money. I can’t just quit. 2) I’m lucky enough to have a great employer. They approve PTO no questions asked when I need some time. They welcome my daughter on Zoom calls when she just can’t deal with school and wants to be near mom. They send UberEats gift cards when I’ve had a tough day.[/quote]
