I am not sure I could do the whole year after these last few months.
It would be less than that, as in most plans Friday’s are teacher planning days - so only 2 days/week. I’m lucky that I have a flexible job and could work from home. My kid is also independent and can do a lot on her own (rising third grader). So I could make it work if need be, as long as daycare is open for the younger one. Which, of course, it may not be, in which case I am screwed and have no idea what I would do.
