The COVID pandemic prompted a major shift in American family dynamics, forcing parents to adapt to new realities without traditional support systems. Remote work provided flexibility for many, particularly mothers, allowing them to better balance work and household responsibilities. However, recent moves by leaders, including President Trump, to revert to in-person work threaten the progress made in workplace flexibility, particularly for women. Experts warn that this shift could adversely impact women's career advancement, which had seen positive trends during the pandemic.
