Remote work saved my sanity

Started WFH last year after my second kid was born and it's been a total game changer. I can take a lunch break to help with virtual school, pop downstairs to break up a fight, and still hit my deadlines. My boss doesn't care where I work as long as I deliver. Only downside is my home office is now also my filing cabinet and laundry station.

This is huge for real. I can eat lunch with my son, help with homework after school, and still get my work done. The flexibility for kid stuff is what saves it though. Makes parenting feel less like you're juggling everything.

WFH after my second was born too and I'm never going back if I can help it. The ability to take a lunch break with your kid, throw in a load of laundry, be there for the little stuff... it's invaluable. Not to mention saving gas money and commute time.

Same setup here and it's been a lifesaver. Being there for doctor appointments, school stuff, even just being present for midday chaos... it matters. Plus when they're sick you're not scrambling for daycare coverage.
