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.

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.

For those that are home grown (at least 2 levels) into the PPMD level, how has your relationship with juniors that you’ve been close to from the start evolved?

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

Dads with older children: while raising your children, did your children prefer their moms over you? I know some will prefer dads over moms, but I assume majority of children out there will prefer their moms over dads… I have one child and it kinda hurts to see my child always preferring the mom over me. I know I shouldn’t feel this way, but I just do. How did you cope with such issue raising your children?

This is a question about friendships. Two friends got into a really bad fight this past weekend. They have each asked me to hang out this weekend. What do I do? I don’t want to have to choose sides. One is a friend I’ve known a little longer and has been a good friend and so she would feel betrayed and angry if she knew I were still friends with her now-enemy. The other I’ve known less longer, but we seem more compatible. Advice??

Can I export a list with all emails I sent for the month? I would like to use it to compare to my billed time to make sure I don’t miss anything. Usually I go through my sent inbox but it has so much extra info so it’s not a quick scan. Plus outlook does weird things sometimes like combines conversations so I only see most recent sent item in that convo. Alternatively, do you have a good way confirming you caught all of your email time?
