[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand how I could work with a 2-year-old by my side all day? Conference calls, training, emails, one on one calls with my boss. It’s simply not an option to keep
mine home.[/quote]

:roll: Of course it's an option. What do you think everyone else working from home w/ kids is doing? You make it work. [/quote]

yeah seriously, what do you think the rest of us are doing? I also have a 2 year old. I’m doing what I assume most people are doing- waking up super early to put in a couple hours before he wakes up at 7. Monitor emails and use some screen time in the morning for calls, work during nap, repeat in afternoon. Work after he goes to sleep.

If you have a spouse or partner at home, you work in shifts.

It’s hard and it sucks. But it’s totally doable and people claiming otherwise are just making excuses.  Do your part and pull your kid out of daycare. We are all in this together and the longer people like you fight doing what’s right and necessary the longer the rest of us will be in this awful situation (awful for reasons far worse than the work stress!)[/quote]

Seriously.  Work in the early morning or late night; put yourself out there and advocate to your company leadership that they have a moral responsibility to be allowing things like that right now.

Accept that your colleagues may hear your kid occasionally.  Accept that screentime may be involved way more than you want.  Frozen 2 is on Disney+ now.

Do not put every human around you at greater risk for your convenience or "mental health" - it's selfish AF.  Daycare is a high risk activity for community spread, full stop.  Don't do it if you have any way not to.
