[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree the juggle is tough once schools starts but ONLY if you have an inflexible job.

Pre COVID I WFH at least 2x and often 3 days a week which was helpful. They are in school/commuting on the bus or whatever for like 36 hours so that is when I'd get most of my work done. They did aftercare 2x a week which they liked - stayed at school and the after care program had clubs, activities etc.

I'd usually be able to come home by 5 or so on days I did go in. But yes, flex is key. The one silver lining of COVID is I'll likely never go into an office again, or at least not for years. My company was already WFH friendly and now they are totally rethinking space. So, I'd encourage SAHMs who want to look to look - you'll probably be in a very WFH friendly job.[/quote]

Second this. I've never been SAHM but I'm in the office just once a week and I have lots of help (nanny, then reliable babysitter, weekly cleaning service, lawn service etc.) My job is strictly 40 hours, very well paid, and low stress. It's very manageable. My H does most of the sports stuff with the kids, unless they're overlapping. [/quote]
