[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So all of these people are physically going to work during Covid? And the kids are are in “after school care?” In the US? In May 2020?

Is this an old post? I’m so confused?[/quote]

People are talking about how much extra OP would need to pay the nanny for coverage so he could go take care of his mom several times a week. This would require at a minimum increasing the nanny’s coverage to 11 hours a day AND would cost about 10K/year.

OP wants to do this for 2 years. His wife is opposed to increasing childcare, OP driving 1 hour each way to his parents house daily and the added expense.

Thanks I read the post. It just doesn’t make any sense during Covid. Aren’t many of the family members working from home and have some flexibility? How are the children in “after school care” like the OP said?[/quote]

Remember, OP is planning to do this for two years. Covid restrictions are temporary. Many people are planning to be back in school in the fall. He did clarify that they use a nanny for childcare though. Maybe she’s still coming now?
