[quote=Anonymous]How do you handle work now? The only thing that worked for us with a 1 yr old at home when daycare was shut was doing shifts. E.g., I’d do childcare until afternoon nap, DH would take over for afternoons and evenings. We switched up when necessary for meetings. His job isn’t that demanding so it was okay for him, but for me it meant working in the evenings until 1/2 am and Sat and Sun nights. It sucked. Like, a lot - I ended up completely burning out and leaving for an easier job. I would not do it again. But, if you want to try to hold out a little longer to keep baby out of daycare, I think you need to do shifts. Or at least hire a babysitter for a few hours per day. We did WFH w/o childcare pre-vaccines when most were still quarantining and we were afraid to bring in outside help, but now I wouldn’t hesitate. [/quote]
