[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Op tele works + her 1 kid goes to daycare....what's the problem?

She can't do errands during the day? Doesn't know how to engage with her kid outside of daycare? [/quote]

Her problem is that she has zero flexibility in her schedule and apparently no partner to help in the evenings or turn their child over to so she can go to urgent care or something. She's burnt out and doesn't want to take her daughter shopping after a long day at daycare.

I get it, but this is depression making her resistant to the obvious "fixes" (more childcare, more outsourcing, more DH involvement).[/quote]

Well, SAH isn't going to solve the problem. In fact, it'll make it worse  and feel even more burnt out b/c you definitely won't get anything done you want (although taking your child along on errands/grocery store does break up the day and is fun).

At least you telework and have an uninterrupted lunch hour, no?

Can you give specifics OP - how often do you need to go to the doctor or dentist or shop that you can't do it on the weekend, take your kid with you, use your sick leave,  order online (banking, groceries, amazon), etc.[/quote]
