[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oy, I just keep thinking about the burden these extra hours are going to put on families. The though of one spouse listening to book on tape for an hour on the metro while kids are in longer extra care, the other spouse is left doing the kid shuttle, cooking, homework, bath routine.  WAH was really good for families who were able to do it.[/quote]

So many WAH parents are just using screens as babysitters. Aftercare is probably better [/quote]

I think this is a good point. What kind of experience is your kid getting if you are also working during that time? Aftercare can be fun for them.[/quote]

Np - I know this is off topic but a lot of feds use aftercare already. But ours only goes to 6 which means (for a school day starting at 8:15) we’d need a new plan if we needed to factor in commuting. [/quote]

Same here and this is what worries me the most. There's not much time to adjust from full flexibility to none. Pretty certain we need to hire some extra help without the extra 2 hours a day that weren't commuting. Any tips there?[/quote]
