[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You say reliable childcare and then you mean it to have coverage when camp closes. No! I do have reliable childcare, but if my aftercare or camp closes, then by definition I do not. My backup plan is taking annual leave. My kids are 2,5,8. They don't veg in front of the TV all day anyways. They'd have activities and be playing when I'm working. The oldest likes to read. I absolutely can't work with the 2 year old home though. The others are fine and don't need me nonstop.[/quote] This. Reliable childcare is reasonable and necessary. Back up care is pretty much only for people who have physically able, local, retired parents. That's why parents need to be able to use their leave. I WFH and I do have reliable childcare because one kid is in late elementary school and the other is in full time day care. If one of them is sick or school closes, my husband (who isn't remote) and I will take turns using leave, or divvy it up based on who has work commitments that can't be moved or delayed. [/quote]
