[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not snitch.

Also, a huge number of daycares and aftercares have closed, so I think some patience is still in order. People do need to figure out dedicated care for small kids, but having an 8 year old at home reading between 3 and 5 pm is not a big deal.  (My kids are in camp/school for my whole work day, but only because I can work 7 to 3.)[/quote]

+1 I'd add that even if someone has childcare (and I do), there are still challenges lining the care up to the work day. My work day begins at 8. Camp begins at 8:45 and there is no before care in the pandemic. That means I have to take any morning calls from my car.

Camp closes at 3 (again, no after care in the pandemic).

This is all to say that even parents trying hard to cover work hours are going to be stymied by the realities of what kind and length of care if available during covid.

Same. My kids' camp ends at 4. But they are also older elementary, so not exactly requiring hands on care once they're back home and I'm wrapping up my workday.[/quote]
