[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have four kids and I would happily be any of my neighbors’ in case the nanny can’t make it back up childcare for a 2yo. [/quote]

Yes most people would.  If you can manage 2, you can manage 3 for 1 night.[/quote]

The problem you run into with friends with 2 kids is that they have to drop off kids at preschool or whatever, and there’s not enough room in their car for another car seat. (I’m the PP with the bad experience with MD State Doulas) That was the big problem for us finding help from SAHM friends.[/quote]

I might have to rearrange my car or take my third grader out of her booster, but we’d make it work. —Pp with 4[/quote]

I would even take the day off if you were in a pinch.  [/quote]

Ok, also- what was the point of this response? Not everyone has friends or family that can do this. Taking a day off is not something a lot of people can afford- especially when you have to conserve sick days like crazy to deal with all these quarantines and kids being sick and dentist appointments, and, and, and... Or you can be self-employed like me and not have any paid sick days. When I take a day off, it can cost me $1000.

I don't think you intended to do so, but your response kinda made me feel like crap that I don't have anyone in my life that could or would do this for me.[/quote]
