My daughter is 1.3 years old. I've been offered a job, and it's a really good option. Plus, they're willing to be flexible with my schedule: 2 days in the office, 3 days remote from home. I really want to take it; I've completely burned out on maternity leave. But my daughter is at an age where she won't let me talk on the phone, I can't watch a movie, I can't even sit on my phone – she climbs on top of me and whines. She doesn't play by herself unless I'm doing something, like cooking or cleaning. I don't know whether to accept or not. I don't want to let people down, but I also don't want to turn down this opportunity. For those of you who work with young children, how do you manage?
Either everyone is online together at once, or there’s a 3–5 minute difference — it happens constant…

I worked part-time, but not from home. My little one was mostly with my father-in-law because she was often sick and couldn't go to daycare.

Kristin★ It's too early to send her to kindergarten, especially in winter. Poor little thing.

Kristin★ You can spend half the day there and the price is half, but I still can't combine it... it's madness for me (I mostly work remotely, hybrid model)

I sent my son to kindergarten at 1.4 years old and went back to work. I work at a school. I could only prepare for lessons after putting my son to sleep, there was no other way.

I wear him while I work, when he sleeps. Or when my older one can keep him busy. I wouldn't be able to handle a full-time job. I can manage 0.5 FTE though.

Olya My husband and I raised our child together.
Working from home was never forbidden; I've been doing it for over 16 years now.

Yes. Fully remote. But I wasn't working on baby's awake times. I'd get up early before they woke, then during their nap, and after bedtime. That's how I managed a standard workday hours-wise.
