[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm tired of people like PPs on here who say we were "spoiled" these last few years.  Bullsh*t.  We were finally coming closer to having better work situations for families with two working parents. It's not spoiled.  It's more practical and better for the whole family, including kids, who most people claim to care so much about.

This is a step backward.  Telling people who are upset to put on their big girl panties or similar stupid BS is just ahole behavior.  EVERYONE would love flexibility if offered.  Of course people with kids don't want to give it up, ESPECIALLY when there is no REAL reason they are doing this in terms of quality of work.  This is all to hurt the workers so they'll quit.  It's backassward and cruel.  Don't be a dick about it.[/quote]

Of course it's a step backward, I think we can all agree on this, however, you have to deal with your current reality and we're telling you how we did it in the past. [/quote]

But the past isn't now. OP is asking how people are managing in the current landscape not 3/5/10 years ago. 
The landscape is not the same. And you show your rigidity- that you accuse this generation of being- when you say this is what we did before as if before synonymous to now. 
It's like people who respond to questions about retirement with well I worked a job and got a pension.....ummm 🤔 great for you. Or how do you handle commutes and they respond well we bought a house 10 years ago in a shady part of DC and fixed it up so we wouldn't have commutes. Right thanks for the tip! [/quote]

You were all dealt a really tough hand, but at a certain point, you have to stop complaining because it's not looking like this is going to change for another for years, so I think you need to shift the energy you are using to complain and yell at people who are trying to provide good advice here to instead start searching for childcare. I'm certainly not going to give any more to this thread, since you don't think people like me have anything valuable to offer. Bye.[/quote]

It's called venting and, yes, it's best if you go.[/quote]

DP but you need to face reality. You can't go on and on about life isn't fair and then yell at people who are offering suggestions. There are really two choices for you AT THIS TIME. Choice One is quit your job and take care of your child (this can be either the husband or the wife) and choice 2 is to find whatever in home daycare or childcare center that will tae you. That's it, those are your choices. I'm really, truly sorry for the situation you are in (I'm right there, too but with older kids, so childcare is not a concern), but this is reality, you need to figure it out and listen to people trying to help you. Perhaps if people posted their location in the daycare and preschool forum, people could help you find spots. [/quote]

DP.  It’s really not fair to mothers to effectively say you can’t provide child care while also WFH.

I mean, what’s wrong with that ?[/quote]
