[quote=Anonymous]So hard. I'm in a leadership position so I am trying to model what is appropriate to support parents. I have pretty self-sufficient tween but trying to make sure folks on my team with younger kids, especially preschoolers, don't kill themselves.

I've requested meetings end 5-10 minutes early rather than being on calls for 5 hours straight. That break at least gives me time to fix snacks and check in.

I'm blocking a lunch break on my calendar so I can check in with my kid.

I've communicated with my team that I will be asking for help -- and people have been appreciative.

I'm also starting my one-on-ones with a welfare check. Trying to connect on a very human level with what people need and to cut folks some slack who need it. For folks with younger kids, asking what time of day is better for meetings.

We also have a home calendar where we mark up every day what time each of us are on calls so we can coordinate. Whiteboard markers on the fridge would work for this.

And still. My kid is trying so hard to be cheerful for us. He's bored out of his mind. [/quote]
