[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would do the math. How much of your take home will care of two kids take up? It might be better to not be employed in the short term, especially  If you are thinking about pulling out of daycare for COVID reasons, then you are looking at nanny / share and those are expensive. You might be better off not working. I would not try to work with a toddler at home and sick pregnant. That sounds like a disaster.

Are you currently taking FMLA / pregnancy disability leave? That might be something to consider and would protect your job[/quote]

Op here. Thanks for your response! We've had our daughter out of daycare entirely since the first week of March, so we've just been paying since then to hold her spot. But at this point it probably just makes sense to pull her completely, especially since we don't feel comfortable sending her back this fall, and my doctor has told us to avoid sending her back as long as we can.

I'm currently not taking any FMLA/pregnancy disability because I'm furloughed so I don't have to take time off from work because I'm already not working. I'm worried though that I will have to if I get called back to work, and that could be a reason they end up not calling me back ever. But maybe if I get called back, I could start taking it right away to also help protect my job? I'm not sure how that works, though. [/quote]
