Picture this: a doctor dad and a teacher mom, both working from home, with two kids who are also learning from home. Sounds like a perfect family setup in the pandemic era, right? Wrong! This family is in the midst of a tug of war when it comes to who’s responsible for the kids when they fall ill. And it’s not just about who’s in the next room, but who’s willing to drop everything and be there for the kids. Let’s dive into this family drama, shall we?

Safety vs. Ego ️
Who’s the Real Hero in this Homefront Battle?
In a world where work, school, and home have all merged into one, this doctor dad and teacher mom are facing a unique challenge. When the kids fall sick, who should be the first responder? The dad, who’s a doctor but is 45 minutes away at work, or the mom, who’s right there in the house but is busy teaching online classes? The dad believes in the importance of a babysitter, while the mom is against the idea of someone else ‘raising’ their kids. It’s a classic case of safety vs. ego, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this family feud…
