Democracy Dies in Darkness
Motherhood often involves unexpected challenges, including the need to wait in lines or compete for childcare spots. Before welcoming my daughter into the world, I found myself spending nights in parking lots to ensure she had a place in daycare.
As she grew, these efforts transitioned to virtual ones. Each morning at 7:50 a.m., I prepared at my computer, anticipating the 8 a.m. rush to register for summer camps. This routine highlights the ongoing struggle many parents face in securing adequate childcare and enrichment activities for their children.
