[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kid has been working from home since well before Covid.  When she and her husband decided to have kids they lined up child care first - the grandparents when the kids were babies and a preschool/daycare once they were toddlers.   It never occurred to her for a second that she could watch her kids at home herself and work at the same time.  It’s not fair to anyone involved.

Time to return to reality, ladies.  [/quote]

Why are you only putting the onus on the ladies? 🙄

And plenty of us paid for high quality infant care. We didn’t foist it on grandparents with outdated notions of gender roles. But moochers gonna mooch.[/quote]

I say “ladies” because we all know there are no men on this thread.  And in my post I made clear that THEY - not “she” - made arrangements for childcare when THEY decided to have kids.

I’m also sorry that you don’t have a more helpful mother.  Sucks for you. [/quote]

Not PP but my mom is dead and my MIL lives several states away.  I hope you're teaching your grandkids better critical thinking skills than you are showing right now.

We are very fortunate that our daycare and ES before/aftercare stayed open during the pandemic.  But I know of others that closed.  The aftercare at my nephews' school closed and for a while my sister/BIL just got along without because BIL was working from home (sister is a teacher in a different district).  They're old enough now to come home on their own but AFAIK the aftercare program never came back.

The only person I know IRL who is trying to work at home with a baby is a neighbor whose "helpful mother" can only come 3 days per week.  She somehow works and cares for the baby simultaneously for the other 2 days.  I don't think it's a money thing, just a strong belief that kids shouldn't be in daycare before age 1.[/quote]
