Teach them UX

UX?

Let the mother and child set up a work schedule for us.

Your work is flexible enough around their schedule?

Duct tape and a clean wall.

lool

For my job its simply not possible to focus on work AND parent (well) so we send them to day camp

Make them do your work? 🤭

Day camps for sports, excursions, beach, friends place for the day/night, babysitter

I tip the balance towards working less, and spend time with my kid more. Work can wait, the kid will grow up.

True

Cheap metal detector outside, snail/insect pets in a cheap tank/large jar, slime kits, family walks, play overs with other kids, Lego stop motion.

My kids would get bored of all of that in 2 days lol what am I going to do for the rest of their summer break …

That was advice for one day! 😂 No, it's an issue, short attention spans.

🤣

If you work remote and have some flexibility, extend your workday with several long breaks to spend with the kids. Then give them tasks (learning or chores/skill development) in between. I also moved my desk outside so they could play outside while I work.

Way too hot to work outside. Or play even. We stick to water most days or indoor activities

I use a lot of fans to work outside in 32C+ weather but the kids play in the pool so they stay cool.

#plebdads have any additional suggestions?

We’re usually at 32-36 with 85% humidity.

I wish I could balance work 😕
