[quote=Anonymous]Ill enact FFCRA if I have to but right now my kid isn't entering daycare until Sept 8th. We were given the choice of June 8th or Sept 8th but we aren't phase 1 employees so we cant utilize the June 8th start date.

We are both WAH and our kid is watching too much TV. If DH gets called back into the office, which is unlikely since he works at a huge fed building and is not essential, then that will be a new sh**storm.

But you are correct, everyone at higher pay or power acts as if either 1) only one spouse works and childcare isn't an issue or 2) you have enough money to pay a nanny or two daycares

The other suggestion I see mentioned constantly is to get a high school or college kid to watch your kid. Ummmm, my kid is 2.5. I am not leaving him with another child for 8 hours a day not to mention a lot of parents may not LET their kids babysit due to the increased risk. Any kid who is able to babysit and has previous experience/necessary credentials (CPR, etc.) is going to get top dollar and see point #2 above. We all cant pay an unlimited amount towards childcare.
