Six months into the Covid-19 pandemic that has shut down schools and day care
centers and forced millions of Americans to work from home, the stressors of
our no longer new normal are only growing. As it dawns on many of us that this

end in sight, our collective patience is thinning. Which is perhaps why
workplace tensions between people with children at home and those without seem
higher than ever.
