[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mom of two here.  I find it ridiculous that people wfh on a regular basis and are clearly taking care of children at the same time.  Suddenly they can't afford childcare even though they don't have to pump gas in the car for a daily commute? It's ridiculous.  I'm not talking about the one off snow day or sudden emergency but a regular pattern. Amazed employers haven't started creating policies around this or making employee come into work.  Classic example of fussing babies and children needing attention during virtual meetings.  Employees are taking advantage and double dipping.  Ridiculous. [/quote]

Childcare is the number one problem facing working parents both in availability, coverage, and cost. 
One of the main reasons we are leaning to not having a second is because of 5 years of trying to figure out childcare. Infant care is out of this world expensive, close to 1800+ for a center and spots are rare. We live in PG. 
After 2 you can do more preschool but then it's weeks off every year. Stay in a center and you are still paying 1500/mo. Our full day preschool was 1300 through the school year and followed PG schools. Meaning snow days, half days, virtual days, etc. 
My K kid has a virtual asynchronous day tomorrow where we have to take him through a packet from 8-12 tomorrow and then he's off the rest of the day. This is completely new concept and it's bullsh$t. A half day used to mean we got a half day of work in now it's a full day off.
