[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you really have no babysitter you could ask?  What would you do if you needed to go to a medical appointment?  If you explain during voir dire that you are the primary childcare provider they should excuse you. [/quote]

You get $50 for jury duty. It costs much more for a babysitter. It's not a fair ask of SAMP.[/quote]

Yes, we can have our nanny come for $26/hour and $39/hour for overtime...plus employer taxes. That's $325+ per day if I'm there 8 am - 5 pm plus commuting time, not to mention paying for parking/Uber because I don't feel safe walking to/riding the metro in the morning anymore. I checked, and they do have onsite provided childcare for children 2.5 and up who are potty trained, but we wouldn't be qualified for that. I also don't have anyone to drive my son to school and pick him up, though I could probably burden another parent to help in a pinch.

I understand that jury service isn't convenient for anyone; I just didn't realize that it is extra difficult as a stay at home parent. [/quote]
