[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, and it is terrible.  We had been going in 2x a week and 1x a week, respectively, so one parent was always home to walk the dog and pick up kids.  Now our children are in beforecare as well as aftercare and we have a dog walker so we can be on Zoom or Teams meetings all day in our offices.[/quote]

So who watched your kids while you were teleworking? You can’t supervise kids who belong in daycare and work at the same time. So you either ripped off the taxpayer with illegal childcare, or neglected your kids. [/quote]

Well considering their kids are in before and after care, it sounds like they are school aged and not being supervised all day. Relax, most parents don’t want to work and care give. We did that during COVID and it was awful.

However, a school day is generally ~7 hours. With the bus, our kids are out of the house 8:15-4:00. With no commute and 2 parents teleworking, we were able to stagger hours and our kids didn’t have to spend extra time in childcare. I used to work 7:30-4. DH would work 8:30-5. Occasionally we’d mix things around if one of us had a meeting/deadline/doctor’s appt or whatever. [/quote]
