[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are in the one-year long separation phase required in VA before filing for divorce. I'm wondering how others with young elementary aged kids split holiday breaks in terms of childcare. For some background, I have always worked part-time from home and DH is essential and has always gone into his place of work. He has continued to during covid, which has left all of the daytime virtual learning to me.

With winter break coming up, I'm trying to figure out how to manage the two weeks the kids won't be occupied while I work. DH is refusing to take any time off at all and I can't afford to use up all of my vacation leave to keep the kids entertained. Obviously, this year is harder than most bc I can't just easily hire a sitter to come into my house due to covid. I'm guessing I will have to suck it up and cobble together my hours while the kids are home, but I'm thinking more about the future and what to expect from a coparent. If he refuses to take off, should he have to pay for and arrange a sitter or winter break camp?

What do most divorced families do in this situation?
