[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP. I have my baby in a nannyshare because I remember how awful the daycare illnesses were with my older child and some of the COVID policies are still insane (one place we got into is still sending kids home for every symptom like a basic runny nose, no fever, and then requiring a PCR or dr’s note to return). Sorry but the whole point of daycare is for my child to go so we can work. Nannyshare has been so much better at limiting germ exposure and our nanny has been willing to work through the occasional mild runny nose, no issue.

Otherwise I think the staggering hours/catching up at night is just what you have to do. Backup care for a sick kid is harder to find than a pre-planned day off for a healthy kid. DH can’t put this 100% on you though, that isn’t fair. I get he’s frustrated but this needs to be a team effort to solve.

Other things, make sure you’re following what is required by the sick policy at daycare but no more. If your DD is full of energy, no fever, then don’t keep her home if she is allowed to go. Whatever she has is already going around the daycare room anyway. Don’t be a martyr, none of the other parents are. And work during screen time/nap time.[/quote]
