Likes most parents over the past two years, Meteorologist Rebecca Schuld has been working from home. The new mom, who reports the weather forecast for CBS 58 News in Milwaukee, had just returned from maternity leave and was ready to do a segment when her 13-week-old daughter Fiona woke up from her nap. So Schuld did what we’ve been doing: she brought Fiona to work with her.
Schuld was holding her daughter while doing a mike check before going on air, when her producer asked if Fiona was going to make an appearance. Knowing the baby was fresh off a nap, she decided, why not? What followed was a glimpse into the life of working pandemic parenting in the best way.
Following the segment, viewers have shared how much they loved having Fiona join the show not only for the cute factor, but because it was validation of just how hard we’ve all been working since the pandemic started. The new normal is managing work calls in between feedings and homework, and that we shouldn’t be hiding any of it.
Colleagues and viewers were quick to share their support of Schuld on Twitter, and the experience has lead other Meteorologists to share their lives, too!

Perhaps Fiona will have a career in meteorology one day. Only time well tell.
