[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone in my mom's group just asked for tips for remote work with a newborn. UGH. Get a freaking daycare/nanny like the rest of us. You're short changing your child and work. [/quote]

If she was asking about remote work with a "newborn" then she's asking for tips on how to get through, at most, a few weeks or a couple months.

I was forced to return to work part-time before I had originally planned to come back because someone on our team left. I worked remotely 4 hours a day and they knew I didn't have consistent childcare at that point. I absolutely used a bunch of "tricks and tips" for getting through those 6 weeks with an infant and limited childcare (it's actually hard to find someone who will come nanny for you part-time for six weeks, it turns out, and I already had childcare lined up for when I went back, but it could not start early).

If my work felt short changed or anyone on my team was annoyed by occasionally hearing my baby crying in the background, they can go to hell.[/quote]
