[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't actually know anyone who does this either but I live in the DMV in a suburban neighborhood with most people having a HHI of $400k or so, so they can afford childcare. I do see it on social media. I think it's a combo of not wanting to spend the money/not having the money, having unrealistic expectations of how much a baby needs, and having a job where it is kind of possible to do it. I feel badly for the women who do this. I got a hefty dose during COVID against my will WFH with a 1 and 3 year old and no childcare and my mental health was in the toilet. [/quote] NP. I was also WFH with a 1 and 3 year old during covid! And dh was an essential worker. It was HELL. I felt like the worst mom on Earth. (Plus still had to pay for daycare!)[/quote] I was there too, with a 2 and 4 year old. My weekly dept meeting is still scheduled for 1pm because nap time was the only time I could reliably be available. [/quote]
