    CHILDCARE=INFRASTRUCTURE!

    Our schools went remote indefinitely, so we just went from part-time to no childcare for 4 & 6yo. Spouse teaches HS live most of the day. I get up at 5 to work and then mostly solo parent 8-3. I know many of you have been doing this since the pandemic started. How are you coping?
