[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh hush about inequity.  Parents with young kids are struggling enough.  Jesus.

I have a teen I don’t need to watch and would not begrudge a colleague with young kids the day off.  I needed that when I was younger and was in the hole with leave.  [/quote]

Brava.

We need some sort of childcare leave that applies to parents of children in elementary school or younger in cases where schools or childcare facilities are closed in their location. [/quote]

Do we really? I had two maternity leaves with Fed govt  I had to pay for out of sick and annual leave. Parents of currently really young kids had that paid for.  Spare me the drama. Deal with it. Take a day of leave. [/quote]

Amen, this is not that hard. 20 years ago I saved all of my sick and annual leave to deal with childcare issues and pediatrician appointments. It was a hard few years but part of the choice I made to have children, after using up 10 weeks of leave for maternity with each kid. Parents of young kids today have no idea how much better you have it.[/quote]

Only feds with kids 3 or under had free maternity leaves. I have 3 kids and only my last had a maternity leave.

I just need grace while my kids are home and I'm working. I have way too much work to take ANOTHER day off this week and I also have employees as well that need assistance. I want there to be a policy that I am still allowed to telework while my kids are home. I have tons of sick/annual leave so this isn't about that.

Typically my dh would watch the kids because he's a fed with no telework, but he had to go into work today as OPM didn't cancel. [/quote]
