[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, you need childcare. Will you be getting childcare?[/quote]

Why do you need childcare for 2 hours after school? Can't they do hw, chores, relax, snack, etc.. while you are at home working? [/quote]

So you would keep your door closed and not acknowledge your kids when they got home until after your workday was over?[/quote]

You can wfh and take a break to say hello to your children.  One does not preclude the other.  [/quote]

But that is where the creep happens.  Coming out to say hi can quickly turn into 30 minutes of helping to unpack backpacks, fix snacks and go over what homework has to be done.  And then even after you return to your desk, the lack of a hard boundary means the kids will pop in here and there through the rest of the afternoon to ask for something, tell you about something that just happened, etc.  [/quote]

So true. It’s the creep that gets you. I have older kids and when I went from office to home I was surprised at how hard it was to maintain boundaries. It’s especially hard when meetings are scheduled between 3 and 6.[/quote]

So is going back to the office better for you, or would you still take WFM with that 3-6 problem?[/quote]
