[quote=Anonymous]Bumping this back up. Anyone losing their minds? DH and I cannot work at home with a 2 and 5 y/o. The kids are being neglected with screens for hours. Everyone is yelling at each other. Our jobs are not lessening up on demands at all and my job is giving me no flexibility in the hours I work. Our daycare is still requesting full payment to hold their spots, which is like 80% of my take home pay. I’m making myself absolutely miserable trying to work just so I can hand over the bulk of my income for childcare we’re not receiving. I feel for the teachers and want them to get paid, but this is not realistic. I’m at the point I’d rather take unpaid leave (assuming my job will allow this) than neglect my kids for hours so I can keep someone else employed. At the end of the day, I need to take care of my family and this is getting insane after just 2 weeks. I am in tears daily trying to meet the demands of my job and meet my kids’ basic needs. My 2 year old is dropping nap, destructive, makes constant messes that I’m up until 11 pm trying to clean, etc. I’m reaching a breaking point. Anyone else feel like they’re being pushed out of the workforce right now? [/quote]
