[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked from home before 2020 as a federal employee and it BAFFLES me that there are people out there who take advantage of this shit. I guarantee you your work requires childcare while teleworking. As another PP said, you are being stupid and likely doing something that strongly goes against the rules. Get a nanny, put kid in daycare, or stop working. You’re the reason work from home gets a bad reputation. [/quote]

You mean you can’t understand how people with infants don’t want to put them in daycare right now? Seriously? And they perhaps cannot afford a nanny? I mean, RSV is raging right now among kids and so is COVID. The beds were full at Children’s recently and the ER wait was 8 hours. Every normal childhood illness now must be treated like COVID and require a clean PCR test to return. The infants and toddlers can’t wear masks but often caregivers have to, and they may or may not be vaxxed. Daycares weren’t exactly home-like bastions before and now with masked caregivers I can’t imagine putting an infant in one. People are not trying to take advantage of WFH, they are trying to keep their children safe and have been given no good options. Child care in this country is horrible and has gotten worse. The more women tear each other down for their choices instead of demanding more for all of us the further behind our country falls. [/quote]

This is a nice story, but OP mentioned nothing abut covid, or being unable to afford daycare.  She just wanted to be home with the kid.  [/quote]
