[quote=Anonymous]We only have one kid and very flexible jobs. Pre-COVID I went to work early so that I could be home when school got out. DH sends kid to school and comes home later at night. That was K-2nd grade. Now, DH is working from home with no sign of returning to the office so it is a non-issue right now. DS is getting ready to enter 5th grade. the down side to the schedule was that we did not eat dinner as a family. Our schedule allows DS to participate in activities that he wants to because I was home to take him to practice.

Our friends who do not have as flexible a schedule use before and after care, either through SAAC or one of the local programs that drops off/picks up at the school. Their kids do clubs and some other things at after care. They manage to figure out how to do a rec sport for each of their kids.

Holidays and teacher work days we know are coming in advance. We would sign DS up for a day camp. Now we DS would stay home because DH is home.

We are lucky to have employers and jobs that allow us to be able to handle sick days and the like. [/quote]
