I'm a working mom in NYC whose family is functioning better than ever during the quarantine — here's how I've partnered with my husband to share the load
This is according to a conducted late last month by the Kaiser Family Foundation, which found parents of children under 18 are disproportionately likely to say their lives have been disrupted by the coronavirus outbreak, and moms are reporting that they've been hit the hardest. they're scaling back their work hours to accommodate the needs of their male partners, and shouldering childcare responsibilities and homeschooling in addition to their "real" jobs.
Now, like many Americans, we are "sheltering in place" and both of us are working remotely. Instead of feeling an additional burden, as many moms are experiencing, our family is functioning better than ever. ." I felt my professional identity slipping away. I felt like a shitty mom, too, when focusing on work meant ignoring my children. Petro sometimes tries to work with her children right by her side.
Instead of going out to eat or squirreling a little away each month, as we were able to before we had kids, we live paycheck to paycheck. It's scary, not having a savings and thinking my husband could lose his job for not staying after hours or making himself available on the weekends — but family comes first.Now, in the wake of COVID-19, my husband is being compelled to make even greater sacrifices — as have more privileged families all across America.

Naomi Campbell on Quarantine Living: 'I'm Loving It'Naomi Campbell, whose formerly excessive-seeming, germaphobic air-travel precautions now just look downright reasonable, launched a YouTube “talk show” show today, No Filter with Naomi. I say “talk show,” in quotes, because the live-stream is what every talk show is nowadays: A celebrity streaming from home from a single, fixed angle. Funny how stars really are just like us, or at least, those of us who have talked into a camera on the internet. Campbell’s first guest was her fellow golden-era supermodel Cindy Crawford. They chatted candidly for about 50 minutes, and the entire thing felt like eavesdropping on someone else’s FaceTime.
