[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 kids under 7. What has made it work for us is that both DH and I have flexible WFH jobs; DH's is mostly WFH with 2 days in the office, while mine is fully remote (and not likely to change anytime soon). My job is not very demanding and I am easily able to duck out and do a school pickup, then return home and put in some additional hours at night if needed. The younger two are in daycare, while the oldest is in K. Drop offs and pick ups can be a pain, but DH and I have a system for alternating those. My job allots more PTO, so I'm usually the one taking a day of leave if a kid is sick, has to go to the doctor or dentist, etc. I also make time throughout the day to do chores like laundry, floor mopping, and cleaning the bathrooms; DH handles all the yardwork, car maintenance, and home improvement projects. I usually cook dinner and make enough for 6 servings, so we'll usually have leftovers we can tap into later in the week.

I fully concede that things would be very different if DH and I did not WFH and we didn't have flexible jobs. We are very fortunate in that regard. [/quote]
