[quote=Anonymous]Pre covid, if you could work from home, many jobs would allow you to do that occasionally, but if you didn't have one of those jobs, and you don't live near family who will watch sick kids, you used your sick time/paid time off, if you had it. A lot of parents I know have a deal set up where they take turns taking snow days off or they have an arrangement with a neighborhood teen or teacher to come watch the kids if schools are closed. I have a friend who lives walking distance from me and I always offer to take her kids on snow days because my work follows the school system (although now that they're older she doesn't usually need me). It didn't use to be as common to try to work while your kids were home, pre-covid--I think people tended to be actually off more and just let people know to call them if it was a real emergency.[/quote]
