[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than a  few months early in COVID were all daycares shut down.  Never in my fed office has it been acceptable to not have daycare.  Not sure why folks think they can work AND watch kids.  Those are two jobs and you can't do either fully if you're trying to do both at the same time.

How are some of you this stupid?

If you have elementary aged kids (which is the situation most people in this thread are discussing), you generally don’t need to “watch” them when they get home from school - but you do need to be *available* in case there is some sort of emergency.  There is absolutely zero reason why a parent can’t work effectively from a home office while their school aged kids play in the next room (or the backyard).[/quote]

Pre Covid I had ES aged kids for whom I cobbled together after care as well as going in as early as possible but leaving at the same time and a spouse who went in as late as possible.  Between all that we managed to get our kids where they needed to go.  And they were in LOTS of activities including multiple travel sports.  Leave was used to accommodate holidays/sickness.  I did have T/W then but I also had bosses that expected my full attention to my job, while they were you know paying me.  Actions have consequences and kids require care.

PS - I don't know what kind of unicorn kids you have, but short of having one, unlimited, screen for each there is no way a days worth of work can get done without breaking up fights, reminding them to do something, feeding them (or reminding them to feed/clean up) etc.  But hey maybe you do have them.
