[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know everyone's work is different, but I'm not finding it terribly difficult to handle mine while working at home. Two parents are home, both work full time. We trade off who is on child duty, and work a little after they are in bed. It's not fun, but it's not impossible.[/quote]

How old are your kids? We’re finding it very difficult with 2 kids under 5, particularly our toddler who is always getting into something. Our house is small so the working parent is frequently getting interrupted and we sometimes have conflicting conference calls during which we pray the iPad will occupy the kids. Our toddler doesn’t have a long attention span for screens and has also now decided to drop nap. The nature of our jobs means we need to be available during business hours so just logging on at night isn’t working.

That said, we still wouldn’t use childcare if it were open. But I am finding caring for small kids while working to be incredibly challenging to the point of being on the brink of a meltdown.[/quote]
