Pandemic motherhood - This is Uncomfortable from Marketplace
When you’re a mom trying to work from home during the pandemic, the mute button is invaluable.
Tiarra Noblin was in a Zoom training for her new job a month into the pandemic when her 5-year-old, Na'el, launched into a tantrum. She wanted to go back to school, the change in routine was hard, and none of Noblin’s normal calming strategies were working. Then she heard her boss calling out from her laptop speakers.
The pandemic has been brutal on working moms . In September alone, nearly 900,000 women left the workforce , four times more than men. A third of working women age 25 to 44 who aren’t working said it was because of child care demands . The numbers are shocking, but behind them are real, human experiences. This week, we hear some of those stories.

Pew Research found that more than half of people whose jobs have allowed them to work from home during COVID-19 want to keep doing it all or most of the time. Another third say they'd like to at least some of the time.

Kai Ryssdal: So explain to us, would you, why extending unemployment benefits actually means that people who are without employment right now might wind up with a better job?
Ryssdal: Which all makes sense, but the ethos of unemployment in this country, at least on a surface level is — both for society and and also for the individual is — man, I got to get off unemployment soon, because I got to get a job ’cause holy cow, I need a job, right?
