Not a new problem: a lot of those parents are already in that situation now. People seem to be working it out.
Seen elsewhere on HN:
“Every school day my kid misses is a day he and I will be protesting in front of the state house or mayor’s office”
Count me in!
Kid’s school and socializing is suffering. Work at home worker productivity tanks, and working parents are rapidly burning out.
People that can’t work at home are simply refusing to go back to work and often (fraudulently?) continue to claim unemployment benefits.
