Anyone else feeling some dread over being a remote working parent and it being viewed negatively? Or are there enough parents in leadership or up-and-comers who want to be parents that we just need ..

So far, I feel like I've heard a lot of talk about being understanding but very little day-to-day support.

As long as men with stay-at-home-mom wives are running the show, I'm afraid it's not going to change. They just don't default to seeing things how a working parent juggling both parenting and working does, and they don't see our struggles.

I should have stated that I’m a working mother of 3. I’m also struggling with a lot of empathy but zero support or action from my company, managers, or coworkers. I tried to carve out the morning for my children, forgoing my workouts, but somehow get roped into 8:30am calls. It’s frustrating. I was commiserating. Sorry if it wasn’t clear.

Yes. I don’t think there are enough people at the top who really “get it” most of them either have a stay at home parent or are still using a nanny or family member to help so I don’t think there’s a true understanding. I also don’t think it’s understood how much parents (more specifically moms) fear they will lose their jobs because of it.
