[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gotta do what ya gotta do.

We were spoiled with remote jobs.

But moms have been doing this for decades before.

Put your big girl pants on and learn to juggle a job and kids like the rest of us.

Your kids will get older and it gets easier. They will get more self sufficient. [/quote]

Np. No moms haven’t been juggling like this. My grandmas were fired in the 50s as soon as they got pregnant. My mom and dhs mom worked part time/nights/weekends and made a lot less than they could have. Is this what society wants for women still?

Stupidly I thought I’d have more choices when I grew up. I should have chosen a major and career that would allow for part time work or had hours that fit schools. Dh and I both had flexible jobs with 1-2 days of telework that allowed both of us to be there for our kids and those are gone now. [/quote]

Boomer and Genx women definitely juggled like you. Get a grip.[/quote]

Older GenX here and yes, most of us that had both parents working had our kids in some sort of childcare for long hours each day. We didn’t have flexible jobs and there was no remote work. It was pretty much the norm unless people opted to have one parent SAH. But as the many posts over recent years have shown, we were judged if we stayed home or judged if our kids were in daycare for long hours.

It’s a challenge juggling work and life balance and has been for years. People have to make the choices that work best foe their own family and know they will be judged by others. [/quote]
