Moral Money: ‘Should I guilt my husband into going part-time at work to home-school?
The article fails to mention what they do which I think is very key here. If her company is being a set of tits which it appears they are then she needs to be leaving anyway IMO. Making a woman feel like she can't balance work and her children with the threat of being passed over for promotions is just not acceptable in this day and age and particularly in the middle of a global pandemic. Disgraceful. I'd be guessing it's a smaller company but who knows. She really doesn't want to be promoted in a company with those values.

FTFY
Today I was doing home schooling, I will work later. My Boss is fine with this.
Having watched this unfold from the comfy position of a reasonably well paid and secure job working from home then people have to be realistic.
Most people I know on Furlough or out the door would suggest paying the bills and keeping a roof over your head and food on the plate is the key not being passed over for promotion. If that is what your manager suggests might happen because you love your kids then revising your CV and getting the hell out of there post Covid is probably your best bet.
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
