[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that this is difficult for OP. But it’s really hard to remain empathetic to these wealthy posters who come from wealthy families when there are so many people with significantly fewer resources and support systems just trying to stay afloat these days.

In OP’s case if you’re not able to negotiate more wfh or find a new team with flexibility I would ask if you could take a leave of absence and see how it goes not working until your kids are a little older. [/quote]

Must be nice to have a job where your money is basically just Monopoly money.

Also, you pick up at least one of your kids at lunch time? Or you take your lunch break later to pick up your kid? Because the former is shady as you are working and watching a child while everyone else has child care.[/quote]

My job definitely isn’t just Monopoly money. I get that we wouldn’t be homeless if I quit my job, but it would be a financial hit. Right now, my salary goes towards our benefits and retirement savings. What’s left after taxes (which is a big chunk) goes towards full time childcare and tuition for our kids.

We have a full time babysitter at home so I’m not watching kids while I work or doing anything shady. I chose a preschool very close to my home where my kids attend/attended part time - have been able to coordinate drop off before work and pick up during my lunch hour which takes about 15 minutes total each time. I enjoy being part of my kids day.

Also, I’m not sure why picking up my kids during my lunch hour is shady. Or even if I spend 15 minutes later in the day while working through lunch. It’s not considered “shady” when I log on at 7:30am to get a head start on emails or log back in at 8:30pm to do more work. It’s just time management.
