I WFH all but about 2 days per month.

I routinely stop to do kid stuff—lunches, a board game, drive them to their crap, shoot baskets, make them practice an instrument.

Not rocket science. I schedule my own calls/meetings and make sure clients get deliverables when expected. So long as that gets done I really couldn’t care less what OP or anyone else thinks. Cheers!

OP this is not pervasive. Do you have a particular example you want to discuss rather than acting like it's the norm?

Hmmm. I am a sahm and I carpool with other moms.

Is this really that difficult? Build yourself a community, even if you have a nanny or daycare.

Arrange childcare when you go out for the day and your WFH partner is working.

Good thing your opinion doesn’t matter at all.

You certainly seem to a lot of time on your hands to start threads here, OP. Do you even work?

I definitely understand the one off situations of random school/daycare closures and not wanting to use PTO for those inconveniences. But as a regular practice? Ah, no.

WFH doesn't absolve you of being a parent. Why should the partner be the one arranging childcare, why shouldn't the WFH parent arrange their own childcare?

This sounds like something you need to discuss with a particular individual not a general post.

yeah, some people seem to feel otherwise. I try not to judge as you never know their circumstances even when you think you do.
