Ok, I'm back with a more reasonable suggestion. Have you considered intermittent FMLA? How did you cover sick time with your older child?[/quote]

With my older child, I worked part-time and we had a part-time nanny. The older one never really got sick, when she did, nanny still watched her. By the time she transitioned to full-time preschool at age 4, she had a solid immune system, so we never went through this.

Now our financial situation is totally different. My husband quit his 70 hour/week job and took a huge salary cut for a position that's 45 hours/week. I took a full-time role at a small organization, there's no FMLA.

I guess the problem is neither of us wants to be the one sacrificing their career. DH doesn't want to work crazy hours to afford a nanny, I don't want to stay at home or get a job I hate in order to earn more. [/quote]
