[quote=Anonymous]Before everyone starts in, yes, I realize that you can hire a nanny, a summer sitter, etc etc etc.... But in reality: how do you handle summer break as a working parent? Even the best camps end earlier than the standard workday and many require alternative transportation, then you add in early evening swim team practices and the desire to just be outside and not at work... Do you seek extra flexibilities? Does your office have special schedules in the summer? Do you take more leave? Do you hire a sitter/nanny for the afternoons? I have late ES kids and have done many of the above but I am generally just over the fact that summer is the enemy of working parents and I am curious how others handle? (Would be helpful to know how old your kids are and what type of org you work in).[/quote]
