[quote=Anonymous]I'm saddened by the fact that I may have to go back to being a SAHM.

I stayed home for several years and was finally able to get back into the workforce.  I'm doing well and promotions in the future have already been discussed with my boss. Now I'm the only one solely teleworking.  Others in the office either don't have kids or have SAH wives taking care of their kids.

Boss keeps asking when I'll be back in the office. I can do a decent amount with telework but certainly not a full schedule. I work in an industry where most stuff needs to be done at the location.

Once restrictions are eased in a couple of weeks, I will no longer be able to stay home, but I have no one to stay with my kids.  They're both in upper elementary, so not terribly young but really not at an age where they should be left for hours each day plus I often have to help with their school day.

DH is a doctor.  There is no flexibility in his schedule, so I'm always the default.  I like to work outside the home, but don't really see any other way to make this work until camps or school starts and even then, I have one kid with a health issue and I would feel so guilty sending him to a camp now.
