I started interviewing moms about parenting during the pandemic in the surreality of March, just as stay-at-home orders were being issued and schools were shuttering. My toddler was home from daycare, so I warned interviewees that they might hear a child screaming in the background. At one point, my 3-year-old, who was being watched by his dad in the other room, managed to connect a Bluetooth speaker to my phone call and began talking through the speaker to my interview subject. Often enough, though, there was a child screaming—if not joining via Bluetooth—on the other end of the line.
