[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember hustling pick up and drop off logistics with DH during our kids early years. Both of us had inflexible jobs. Very stressful and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

We are supposed to evolve. Just because I did it 15 years ago doesn’t mean today’s generation should have to as well. Why are Americans so infatuated with punishment?[/quote]

Once again, no one is.  It’s the whining and the hysterics of it all.

If we could wave our magic wand, we’d keep at least regular telework, if not full telework.  But it’s not happening and a lot of people here are saying it’s impossible to figure out childcare.  That their lives are being turned upside down.  It’s perspective that is missing.

My kids were in full time daycare, and then before and after care, and yeah it’s expensive.  And there are wait lists.  BTDT.  The hours with a commute are tough too, so I found a daycare that was closer to my office so we could manage the daycare’s hours.  I have a long commute and getting my toddler out of bed at 6:30am was hard.

We staggered our tours of duty, we used a lot of leave, we hired high schooler to shuttle one kid to her sport when we weren’t home in time to get her there.  We had zero telework then.

I don’t begrudge anyone who doesn’t have to do that.  But reality is this is what’s happening now.  [/quote]

[b]Some of us don’t even know where our office will be so it’s hard to pick a daycare that aligns with commute. Not to mention people normally get on daycare waitlists while they’re still pregnant. [/b][/quote]

I'm confused. Have you been working from home full-time with a daycare aged child? Because that's not allowed. Everyone I know that teleworks but has an infant or toddler has someone caring for them during the day.[/quote]
