WFH childcare reality — it does not work the way people think

by Siti Hartini·September 25, 2025

Having young kids at home while WFH full-time is not sustainable. You need proper childcare even if you're home. Productivity on days I watch my toddler is about 20% of normal. Companies should offer more flexibility.

WFH meetings with a toddler in the background hurt professional credibility. Schools and care centres matter for WFH parents.
