[quote=Anonymous]I'm not smug.

I'm grateful that the life setup we have works for us better than two full time working families who have to provide full time child care while working full time.

And I hate being stuck.  Stuck inside.  Stuck without travel.  Stuck with a limited way to entertain the kids.

I'm more aware than ever that what our nation expects of women is to always be the childcare providers.  Other nations have done better.  Other countries make it work.  We could too.  Don't blame other women who don't work full time desk jobs for the fact that our policies haven't adapted to this time.

Policies we could have and should advocate for:
Governmentally provided leave in order to provide childcare during COVID 19.

Socially distanced governmentally provided summer camps (DC has these.  Sign your kids up!)

Others I haven't thought of.

In conclusion, fight the power, folks.

No on is living their best lives now.  We're all exhausted, lonely, understimulated and severely lacking time without kdis.  It sucks.  For all of us.  For some it sucks more.  But to pretend this is a picnic for anyone and then try to trick them into saying the wrong thing and punishing them for it is a dick move.
