[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How did the older GenX and younger baby boomers in dual working households get it done? Not teleworking — not in 1999, 2001. And no professionals in DC lived near their moms then so that also isn’t the answer I do think commutes weren’t an hour+ each way then. But mainly we just … did it. [/quote] they don’t get it done. My mom had a part time job, she teaches electives in a school nearby, so she goes in and teach 2 classes at 10am, come home to nap, then teach another class in the afternoon. She had 1 child and I was in school from 7am to 7pm. She hates cooking so I skipped a lot of meals. There was no extracurriculars either. She goes to bed before me at 9pm and wakes up after me (after 7 I assume). I walk to school starting at age 7. My dad was overseas for majority of my childhood. [/quote]
