My wife and I are both WFH and our 10 mo old daycare is closed until at least 4/8. Thoughts on some fun/educational things to do with him? Would love some self play ideas as well. It’s been tough!

When my kid is 10 mo, I just roll a piece of paper and he can have fun for hours. Or just grab some pans and utensil and he’ll be imitating the chef.

I have a kindergartner - here’s what we’ve been using to keep her busy:
* epic! for reading
* dreambox math for math
* go noodle - silly dances and exercise
* check out the Mo Willams videos (the “don’t let the pigeon drive the bus” guy)
* cosmic kids - yoga (great for younger kids too)
* scratch jr for simple programming

For younger kids there’s PBS Kids app (games one and a shows one)

Hi,
Can anyone suggest what should I do ? I am joining Citi next week and the team I’m assigned I heard has very hectic schedule and strict 3 days wfo and today I got a selection email from another company who are offering permanent WFH , due to certain internal approvals , the offer could be shared only next Wednesday, As I’m more inclined towards the latter. Is it possible to get early termination once my new offer comes through or I have to serve 3 months NP?

I went client side and am miserable - it’s madness on this side. Have made it 90 days and would prefer not to make it more than 120 - but we’re in a pandemic. Half of the problem is that I “onboarded” remote and the onboarding was TERRIBLE. The other thing is that there is no process and I’m on a team full of managers who have spent 15 years at this company and have no availability to talk to me with a day full of meetings. I’d prefer not to quit without a backup but I cry every day.
