[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't lived in DC in a while. Have things changed SO much since the pandemic that people can't understand that a dual-career couple would have a kid in care from 8-630? This used to be 100% the norm so I am surprised at people shaming the parents for having kids in care "so long" unless it's a DCUM thing or one person?[/quote]

Because those long hours used to incorporate a long commute.   In situations where neither parent has a commute, why are such long hours necessary?
Both parents work a 10.5 hour work day every day?[/quote]

Do you not remember how, during Covid, companies expected (and still expect) maximum flexibility from the people who WFH? My company is cool with WFH but you better believe you are expected to work harder to prove you’re not abusing it. [/quote]

I am the first person quoted, who hasn't lived in DC in a while. So, has society really changed this much then? Seriousy question and sorry for hijacking.

But to answer your actual concern, OP - is it possible that she assumes you are also a SAHM?[/quote]
