The era of 'secret parenting' is over

, undoubtedly leaving working parents in a sudden lurch.

In our household, "secret parenting" meant I watched the kids and managed the house by myself while my husband gave it his all at the office. I finished assignments on my phone from the pediatrician's office and Skyped with students while I distracted my toddler with screen time. Yesterday my husband participated in a Zoom meeting wearing a firefighter costume, our two children as well as a neighbor's toddler screaming gleefully in the background. My life has changed a lot in the past seven months.Instead of taking my once invisible labor for granted, Arran works from home and so we are better able to share the load — and it's impossible to hide from his employers, just as parenthood has been impossible to hide from mine.

Boo hoo. People have been making sacrifices for their children for eons. No one owes you a trophy for being a parent. Suck it up and get on with it.
