If you rely on grandparents for free childcare while you work? Particularly in education / NHS and similar lower pay scale jobs.
Because for many of us, it’s just not worth the money by the time you’ve paid nursery or other childcare fees.
I’m worried about the impact being greater on working women in particular here. Is your career now in the balance because of Covid preventing you using your parents to help you out?
I realise I sound like a journo here - I’m not! I work in education and know of colleagues who can’t return in September for this reason.

YANBU: I have decided to quit my job because of this issue.
