[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a mom who managed this problem pre covid. It's not that I want more women to be miserable. I agree that flexibility is priceless for working families and I also agree that RTO will have the largest negative impact on women and that is sad.

But I am also annoyed at how clueless and entitled some of these posts are! This is a common problem that until very recently we all dealt with. It's not a unique attack on you. You can figure it out.

I also agree with the poster who said people used to prioritize commute when buying a home. I recall making a test drive to pick my kids up and drive by our potential new home to see what that would be like before putting in an offer. We didnt put offers in to houses that had more difficult commutes. Even if we loved the space the daily reality of needing to pick up kids and get to from the office was most important.

Sorry it's changing abruptly but not sorry you can't understand that this is life.[/quote]

So we should all give up are low mortgage rates and buy homes closer in (since there is an abundance of homes on the market and it the COL in DC is so reasonable). Plus uproot our kids from their schools, activities and friends. What a short sighted comment[/quote]

Yes you made the choice to live far out while our family sacrificed to pay much more to stay close. Your choice your suffering. When the rates were low you should have bought close in to your job moron.[/quote]

The choice was made when work offered TW. We have about 8 people we hired to work remote over the last 5 years -all but one a veteran, btw- and who now are likely to be out of jobs. These are people who moved to the midwest or other lower COLAs and were able to perform their jobs remotely. And were hired to work remotely. Their "choice" was based on the terms/conditions they were offered.

Don't be dense. [/quote]
