[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand - are people who are working from home still paying for someone to watch their kids full time?

Regardless of how privileged you are exposing your kids to a lot.

Covid19 is everywhere - if this is what is causing you to be concerned you must not be doing much reading?[/quote]

Listen PP, if you cannot just answer my question, then pls move on. Non of your business, you don't know what my circumstances are, ok? 
Do you think a single Mom with two kids can do any work at home? I have someone coming to our place for 2-3 hours a day during the weekdays to study and occupy my kids, so I can do a bit of work. I am with my kids ON MY OWN 24/7 without any other back-up, so I need outside help, yes. Happy now? Do you really want to compare privileges? [/quote]

Sure, I'll compare.  I am not a single mom but am married to a doctor who is exhausted and sleeping away from the family.  Working full time and have 2 kids who need help with online schooling.  No nanny here.  Check yourself.  And that nanny should stay home for 2 weeks, NO PAY, if she chooses to go to NJ.  My FIL is in NJ, home on oxygen 24/7, and we are not going anywhere near there, for Easter or otherwise.[/quote]

NP. So it seems that you are in a position of much greater privilege than the OP, given that you have a spouse with a presumably good salary and rock solid prospects for continued employment. Given this, it seems quite odd that you would judge OP for having a few hours of childcare per day. At least the advice you ultimately coughed up is sensible. [/quote]

Agree. Doctor’s wife PP is so tone-deaf.[/quote]
