A 33-year-old woman is facing conflict with her partner's ex regarding her unwillingness to care for her stepdaughter while working from home. She works in a demanding finance role and argues that, like anyone who works outside the home, she cannot supervise a child during work hours. The stepdaughter's mother insists she should be available because she is at home, which is causing tension in relationships. The woman also struggles with her stepdaughter's lack of compliance, further complicating the childcare situation.
"Whenever my stepdaughter is poorly or it is the school holidays and her mother hasn't arranged suitable childcare, she always asks me to look after her because 'I work from home so I can look after her.'"
"I don't see why it is any different to someone who goes to a place of work who cannot look after a child, to someone who WFH (work from home)."
