[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a common mindset shift that happens with parents of kids who are school aged, which is an acceptance of more days off from work, or half days. Relatedly, afternoons where you don’t always work into the evening as much as you would have before, because your kids have practice or other activities. People focus on the baby and toddler years as if they have the biggest career impact but I honestly found that easier. Yeah it’s possible to have your kids in before care, school, aftercare, and camps every day off school, but I felt like it started to take a toll on my kids after a while. (Among other things, they were exhausted). PreK is the hardest because your kids still need supervision. But having a middle to upper elementary kid home for a day while working from home is not impossible. [/quote]

It’s very hard.  And those of us with two demanding careers and slightly older (now late elementary school) kids had to deal with Covid when our kids were in PK.  So all of the sudden we had no school or childcare and we still had to work all day every day!  You will figure it out, especially if you are financially secure. [/quote]
