[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sick days are easier to deal with often, because there will be large blocks of time where the sick child is resting, allowing me to work.  Snow days, not so much.  In both cases, I let them know what's going on, that I'll be working but possibly not at 100%, and either work late, or work extra hours on other days to makeup the rest.  No one at work cares about the # of hours worked, as long as the job gets done.[/quote]

depending on the age of the child it is illegal to care and work at the same time. You take time off or pto. [/quote]

Illegal?  No.  Against an employer's policy?  Depends on the employer. [/quote]

Correct. Many employers do not bat an eye at “work from home” on sick/snow days. Sounds like PP just hasn’t worked for one.[/quote]

Nothing like ALL of the kids in the background during a meeting on a snow day.

To answer OP's question, what I end up doing is working 10-12 hours (instead of 8) to really get time in/deliverables done.  Because I have to make lunch, and answer questions, and do whatever.  If either of us have meetings, we tag team and threaten the kids under penalty of death that mommy/daddy is on a call and they have to be quiet.[/quote]
