That’s why it so important to have one stay at home parent. The kids always have a parent and one person works.

Tell FLOTUS. She will fix it. Remember the words on her green jacket when she had her photo op at the border: I DON'T CARE...DO YOU

More scare tactics

If adequate testing with quick results were available to all Americans, and not just the White House, the child care situation would be greatly diminished. Why aren't these tests available to American citizens? Cost? Hoarding? Manufacturing? Selling overseas? Why?

For kid’s wellbeing, they need to go back to school. Students & parents can have the option to opt for online or in-person classes but they must have the OPTION. What if the inability to return to school forces a parent to lose their job/insurance? That’s a real health crisis.

Parents should go back taking care of their own children. No one loves a child like the parents.

Perhaps we should reconsider a woman's role in the workplace?

BETTER TO ADOPT SINGLE PARENT EMPLOYMENT DURING CHILD CARE PERIOD. EVERY CHILD BE ENSURED BETTER FUTURE, BE EFFICIENT, CAPABLE TO UP SKILL THEIR TALENT. DIFFICULT IF BOTH PARENTS ARE EMPLOYED. EARLIER MOTHER USED TO TAKE CARE OF CHILDREN, FAMILY WHILE FATHER EMPLOYED, EARNING.

Kids these days can't take care of themselves ... My grandson can't speak yet and he is 18 months old! I blame those shark videos on youtube, thats why I've been telling his mom to make him listen to Waylon Jennings. Pure talent!🐻👍

Perhaps the teachers you’re paying thru your taxes to not work will watch your kid for some more money.

UROCKlive1 25% of daycare centers in my county are closed due to virus spread.

SethAbramson When I saw the headline I thought is was going to be an article about adult care required for the giant man baby in 6he WH...

SethAbramson Novel idea, get the virus under control on a National level.
