[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of state relative.  If an emergency happens with my child - suppose my child has to be taken to the hospital or something happens to me and dh and neither one of us shows up to pick our kid up.

Would I want the school to contact "random neighbor" or Grandma/Grandpa?[/quote]

What are my child's grandparents going to do on the other side of the country?  This would only freak them out and they'd feel helpless.  I'd rather have someone I sort of knew but had a resourcefulness about them be able to ask around for me and/or go to the school to pick up my child if necessary.  I think most neighbors would fit the bill.  [/quote]

Grandparents would be the ones to talk to EMS/hospital.  They would also have details about where dh and I would be during the day, along with contact numbers.

If you have a trusted neighbor/coworker/friend to contact who is local - great.  Op, is saying that she doesn't have someone like that and might feel awkward (and uncomfortable) asking someone that she barely knows to be an emergency contact for her child.

If emergency contact means having an occasional back up to pick up your child, that's different.[/quote]
