[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom who didn't  have school aged kids pre covid here.  I know I might sound whinny (and your posts have all been very helpful for a view of pre covid parent life) but all that sounds so exhausting.  Just more coordination, more floating pieces, more unhappy children and more pressure on spouse.  I know you all did it before but life has only gotten more complicated with time and parents are already stretched thin.  Something will have to give.  Society can adjust when everyone goes into work 5x a week but it might not with only feds back in office.  Those camps and aftercares might not add extra hours or weeks, schools might still expect parents to volunteer or come in for whatever, and extracurriculars might not accommodate. [/quote]

Only 10% of the US workforce is remote and something like 20% is hybrid. Expectations of parents have always been out of sync with reality and made WOH a nightmare. Employers have a role to play, but they alone can’t solve a cost of living and childcare crisis that are intertwined. Many people went back to work at least on a hybrid schedule at the beginning of 2022, so feds are joining the party very late and will benefit from demand for before and after programs as well as other programs required by working parents over the last 3+ years.

OMG most feds are on a hybrid schedule. [/quote]

Why are you freaking out and writing paragraphs about before/after care and school volunteering if this is business as usual? [/quote]
Because they are removing hybrid schedules for feds[/quote]
