AskABoss: “How are parents of young kids supposed to juggle work and child-care responsibilities with offices opening back up and COVID not yet conquered? It feels like employers expect us to be back to normal when we’re definitely not at that point”
Photo-Illustration: The Cut.

Here are answers to some of the questions about COVID-19’s impact on work that have landed in my inbox recently.
And a ton of people are in your situation; you’re not an outlier. In some ways that makes this even crappier, but in other ways it might make it easier to handle, since you can emphasize that your employer’s current policy overlooks a huge swath of employees. Talk to your boss and/or your company’s HR, point out the realities that parents of school-aged kids are still dealing with, and ask how they want you to handle that.
It’s not unprofessional to take video calls from rooms that clearly have non-work purposes. That’s the reality of working from home during a pandemic! Anyone who doesn’t understand that is seriously out of touch with other people’s lives. When you’re working from home, taking a sick day should be based on your own assessment of how comfortably you could work. If you’re miserable, need to rest, can’t focus through your discomfort, or are otherwise not in a condition conducive to working, it makes sense to take a sick day. You don’t have to worry about contagion when you’re remote, but otherwise the bar for a sick day should be pretty much the same as it always has been.
