[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our daycare is closed this week due to Omicron. On the one hand, I appreciate that they are trying to keep everyone safe. On the other hand, I am paying for a service that I am not getting and needing to take leave from work. (There have been three confirmed cases at our facility so far.) Just curious how other daycares in the area are handling the surge in cases. Are your daycare facilities still open? [/quote]

Think of it this way. You don’t pay for attendance. Rather, you pay for your spot. Similarly like when you go on vacation you still have to pay your mortgage on the house even though you’re not using it.

Your daycare‘s responsibility is to try and keep the entire group safe which is why they might have to close. If they stay open they could potentially be spreading Covid to the entire group and daycare and sill have to end up closing anyway.[/quote]

Yeah but in the case of a house I'm in charge of whether I use my house or not, not someone else. I'm choosing to take the risk I'm choosing to use my leave in a matter of my choosing 
 Child Care should not depend on potentials. It's been considered an essential business for a long time and you don't just get to arbitrarily close without actually having cases. Because unfortunately what actually is going to happen is there are going to be cases and now you've made me use all of my leave for potentials and so I'll need to take leave without pay when there are actually cases.

If you used up all your leave, then yes, you take leave without pay.  You knew this was the policy when you choose this child care.  We are in a health pandemic.  You are a parent.  This is parenting.[/quote]

No this is not any parenting that any previous generation has had to do. Stop shaming people and for god sakes I hope you dont call yourself a feminist or a humanist. The US cant complain about labor shortages and women in the workforce and then be like its a pandemic your a parent youre on your own. If I am on my own then so shall I treat everyone else. If there is no community then who the f*** am I protecting?[/quote]
