[quote=Anonymous]We did all of the above last year -- fought about fair sharing, whose job is more important, bit the bullet, relied on neighbors (no family that close, and how do you repay the favor when you're away at work?), brought kids into the office (disaster!), split days (great source of recriminations!), went skiing as a family, went sledding, went to the movies, did "homeschool" etc. This year, I found a teacher who can care for them on the very days that school is off. She's the first to know of a closure, and we work with her on those days. I bet there are other teachers in your neighborhood who might be willing to take them on. I ran into my sitter through a different connection, but I bet spreading the word at school might yield a teacher or a substitute willing to help a few families in her home or yours. It's been such a huge relief. [/quote]
