Question for those that may have experience. For 2 FT WFH parents that can make their schedules flexible/work early or later, how possible is it to take care of a baby during the day without needing childcare?

I seem to have struck a nerve I see

It's possible, but it'll most likely make you miserable. My wife and I were in this position when our daughter was born. We ended up starting her in day care at around the 7 month mark. It's really, really hard to get anything done with a baby at home. And the time you get with them you tell yourself justifies it really isn't all that enjoyable during the first year. I wish I hadn't had to do it all the same, but I know it was the right thing for all of us. Plus it made it so much easier for our daughter to adjust to kindergarten compared to our friends' kids who stayed home the first few years. When they get in the habit of being around teachers early, going to "real" school isn't nearly as daunting for them.

I have seen people make it work, but I truly don't know how. I feel like you have to have completely opposite schedules so that one person is free at all times. I have seen people's work suffer because they think they can take care of their child and work, and it just doesn't work out well.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

I believe it does as the application period to renew DACA benefits was reopened in 2020. Thoughts?
