[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use my SIL and BIL even though they live about 4 hours away. It's stupid and I hate it. I resisted filling it out at DS's day care until they kept hounding me about it. We all have cell phones on us 24/7 these days so I don't really understand the need for this "Speaker of the House becoming President" level of emergency contact. [/quote]

I hear you and I would have done the same.  Even if you name someone local, if the school called them that person may not be able to drop whatever they are doing to come and pick up your kid.

PP here  - they have my cell phone number, my work phone number, my work main phone number where the receptionist can have me paged over the intercom, my husband's phone number, my husband's work phone number, and my husband's work cell phone. That's enough, lol.[/quote]

That's assuming you weren't in a car accident, etc.

The time this becomes important is that week where your husband is out of state for a work event, and god forbid, but you are in a car accident, and school or daycare has your child, and it is 6 PM.   Who does your child go home with in this situation?

If you don't have ANYONE willing to pick up your child in this situation, OK I understand but I would definitely spend the nest 3 months trying to cultivate some local friendships.   These things are important once you have children.[/quote]
