[quote=Anonymous][quote]Find another family and take turns. Then you will only have one in four days to use of your vacation days. If you are a single parent, find another family until there are four adults taking turns.

This was our solution.

I tried this, but the other family didn't have a concept of fairness. I'd take off work for a snow day or teacher work day, watch her two kids for the day, and then she'd invite my kids over for an evening (when I was home) and she would say "OK now I'm even for you watching my kids". Did not seem even to me. I quit watching her kids.

Why didn't you speak up and say, "No, we are not eve. You need to take the next snow day."

I should have, [b]but they were our next door neighbors and I thought it would be easier to just say no in the future.[/b][/quote]

You should find another family.  I found other two families in our neighborhood (7 kids total, including ours).  We trade off and it's been fabulous.  My oldest is in middle school now.  It won't be long before he'll be babysitting on snow days for families that don't have backup arrangements.[/quote]
