[quote=Anonymous]As soon as the local school district publishes their calendar for the year, the neighborhood rec center and arts centers we have through out town release a schedule of day-long camps. There's coverage for just about every day of the year except federal holidays, NYE's, Black Friday, and one of the weeks of August. If you're on top of it, that can cover the school closures, of which there are many. Now, for Dr's appts and parent-teacher meetings, snow days, and school functions during business hours, and staff development days at school - those add up really quickly. It's a mix of sick leave, back-up care from work, vacation, and some flexing of work hours here & there. We did it for about 6 months before getting an au pair. We went from being so stressed out every day that we couldn't enjoy the little time we had with the kids to being one of the more relaxed both-working parent families we know. So worth it. [/quote]
