[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]6am-8pm with your children everyday, no childcare, how would you do?

Hasn't this been nearly everyone for the majority of 2020?[/quote]

Nope, a lot of us sent our children back to daycare. The idea that women's jobs are so unimportant that they should just stop doing them for a year (or neglect them while they care for their children) is pure misogyny.

...Where did I say women's jobs are unimportant?  Geez, uptight much?.  Many, most couples I know were both WFH and managing teaching from home.  There was no way my kid was going to be in daycare or in-person school during April 2020 when we didn't know anything.  High risk or not.[/quote]

No one is talking about April 2020. Summer/fall 2020.[/quote]

+1 JFC how did we go from "the majority of 2020" to "April 2020"? We went 5 months without child care. We managed, but it wasn't good for then-1 yo DD (whose speech exploded when she started daycare and I don't think it's a coincidence) or us. I was about to have a nervous breakdown. We got advice from a Ph.D. immunologist and a MPH to do what would be best for our child's development, given the lower risk of Covid for children. Guess what, two stressed out parents who don't have energy and are constantly distracted is not what is best for our child's development.[/quote]
