Could you imagine how rad it must be to work from home without kids?

My wife and I both work full time with a 3yo at home, so rather than put him in front of a screen we work in shifts - one of us does 6:30 ᴀ.ᴍ. to 12:30, then we switch until 6:30. It's really tough.

I bought a trampoline for my 6yo. Just yesterday, it arrived. Set it up indoors, 2.44 meters, right in the middle of the apartment living room.

Best investment I have ever made.

What about when this is over and you have access to your regular childcare?

I imagine a thoughtful approach to “everybody WFH” would include a coworking space credit if needed, a stipend to equip one’s home office if needed, etc.

“My home is too small / distracting / I like to be near people” => coworking space

“I don’t have an ergo chair / etc” => stipend
