The practical implications of Covid-19 for the construction industry, and the impact of lockdown on live projects, has been considered by my colleague Sandra Cassels in her article "Wh… next for Covid-19's impact on construction contracts". 

I started working part time after our eldest daughter was born 7 years ago. At that point, I was at work (she was at nursery) for 3 days and we were at home together 4 days a week. I applied to work part time mainly because I was uncomfortable with the idea of her having more than 3 very long days at nursery. Also, because of the realisation that working full time with a young family and having to do everything on the list over 2 days at the weekend just didn't seem possible. I didn't want to not work, and at the same time, I just couldn't get my head around the idea of managing home stuff and getting on with the nurturing/caring/educating/bonding baby stuff that comes with the territory, in just 48 hours, let alone scheduling in the fun needed to sustain it all.
