We pulled our child out of daycare, BUT we plan to pay the monthly bills.

They still have bills to pay. If they go out of business we are screwed when things get back to normal.

We’re doing this too

Pulled. I have a 4 yr old and a 1.5 yr old, we both working from home and planning our shifts every night based on our calls, delegating non critical meetings, and unfortunately having to catch up late at night. We are bringing in our back up nanny for a few hours a day as needed. Also thankful for EYs Bright Horizons benefit with daily crisis reimbursement that I just discovered today. Staying positive and pushing through for the benefit of our society!

100%. I am in Dallas, and we happen to be on spring break. Our district hasn’t made the announcement, but surely will. Even if they don’t, there is no way we would send our kids now. The science, emerging and imperfect as it may be, is pretty clear. Room full of 30 people for any reason, day in and day out, increases as dramatically. Triple that if they are the kind of people pick each other‘s noses for fun

I'm pulling my daughter out of daycare to but I'm wondering how to manage working remotely & watching her. She is 14 months and constantly needs attention.

Acc 1, please send our love and appreciation to your wife. I'm so proud of our ladies in this moment.

Godspeed and good luck. I'll check out Nextdoor. EY has graciously given us 24 business days of reimbursement for nanny care.

Yes. We did and then the DOE announced the closure and then his daycare closed anyway. Whether you pull your kids or not, plan your schedule as if you, and they, will be home for at least a month.

We have 2 boys. One is 3 and the other just turned 1. Both are home. Just as you would structure your day, plan to structure theirs. Recommend creating a big 'project' for them to do that they can keep doing for the next month. Creating a small garden (potted plants etc) is a great one. Daily ritual, they can see progress, gives them something to care for, they can learn about plants etc.

Pulled em. Young kids are potential carriers here. Don’t be part of the problem if you can avoid it.

The weather is terrible so we are mostly in the house. She doesn’t really like to read but she loves it when we make up stories and do voices with her stuffed animals. She also loves playing with blocks and stacking toys.

First time soon to be a dad here. Is it abnormal that I don’t want to have sex with my pregnant wife?

We are expecting a second child in about 15 days and my first one is 2.5 yrs old. My wife took a break after our first child and we never had a nanny. Our entire family lives outside of US. With the current situation, none of our extended family members are now able to travel and help. we are worried about hiring a nanny at this point because of covid concerns. What are my childcare options so that I can be with my wife during the labor?
