[quote=Anonymous]Same here. When anything comes up, we discuss who has availability, who has something critical coming up, who can least afford the time off. And we negotiate who takes the time. If you feel it is too one-sided, then you discuss when you aren't in an emergency and come up with ways to rebalance. When both parents are available for an emergency, we often decide whoever has had the least interruptions has to take care of it or whoever has a deadline or something big coming up in the future (and likely not going to be available in the next few months) may take it. We try hard to balance and be respectful of each other's time and jobs and do what we can to balance the load. But, we tend not to have the "default parent" setup. [/quote]
