[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t a thread about being “on call.” OP asked about times you are supervising children.[/quote]

That one PP derailed it with her weird post about how she can't go to the beach during the day and drink a margarita.  Just like, you know, ....  everyone.[/quote]

I would say other posters derailed the thread by jumping on that post. Her point, I think, was that her partner is never the one on call, so she can't just take off. I can appreciate that. I work outside the home, but on the few days I have had her for there to myself, I know I can't count on my partner to do pick up or whatever if I am unavailable or running late.

So yes, while it is theoretically true of every parent that we are always on call, some people have more leeway than others for time to themselves with a fallback partner.

Do you see the difference? And it doesn't matter if you are SAH or WOH when you are in this situation.[/quote]

But for the thousandth time, being on-duty and being on-call are not the same thing. Obviously being the sole adult watching small children is different than being the sole adult who has to pick up a child from school in an emergency. [/quote]
