[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always worked from home even pre-Covid and could not have managed without a nanny.  When they were little, it was a given but even after school age, they were still out at 2.  And then the countless sick days and holidays.  To be productive and successful at my job, I have to devote the business hours to work so I needed nanny to pick up the kids, take them to activities or the park, handle the kids laundry and food preparation as well as grocery shopping and the kids errands (mostly buying birthday gifts for the countless weekend parties).  There is no way I could do it all.  [/quote]

Oh my gosh, yes holidays, and all of those full days off of school for random things.

Shoot. It's like if you go back to work you have to outsource some of what you provided being a sahm. Ugh, the mental load.[/quote]

Lol the mental load…. If you can’t juggle the logistics, you probably should just stay SAHM… It’s not the location nor the logistics that will be the big leap, it’s the firing up of business contextual skills and grey matter neurons that you haven’t called upon in a while… [/quote]

+1. It’s not a “mental load” it’s called being an adult.  And most people do it as a matter of course because that is what working parents do. [/quote]
