[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone tell me how employees in private sectors handle all these childcare issues post-covid? For example, nurses, EMTs, polce officiers, teachers, supermarket workers, factory workers, etc.[/quote]
Honestly, these people never took their kids out of childcare because they have never done WFH. They don’t have to worry about waitlists, etc. because they never gave up their child care slots to begin with. [/quote]

Wait what?  You don't think anyone in any of those categories has given birth since covid or has a kid who has moved from daycare age to elementary school age since covid, or has moved since covid?  So, these issues that you seem to think didn't exist pre-covid (even though many of us who had kids pre-covid are telling you they did) couldn't possibly apply to them.

I think that saying that you feel that you are equally productive at home, and therefore shouldn't be asked to come in is valid. That's fine. But this idea that somehow you are facing brand new unique issues that no one faced before covid is absurd.  Before covid, my kid was on a dozen daycare waiting lists before he was conceived, and cleared one.  Before covid, my kid didn't get off the waiting list for kindergarten aftercare (all the spots went to kids who had been in PreK, but we didn't win the PreK lottery) at our in bounds DCPS for the entire year, causing me to scrabble together care and eventually move him to a charter school.  Childcare has been a problem for a long time in this country, and it's harder for the people listed above who generally have inflexible hours, and often works shifts, than it is for most office workers.
