[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about applying for the Parental/Care leaves? I just don’t see how long you can last living like this. We have a 4 and 2 year old and I can’t imagine having 3![/quote]

NP. What kind of leave? Do you mean leave under the FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act)? This child care situation is not really what FMLA leave is for. Maybe if one parent gets sick the other would take FMLA leave, but using it "because we can't find child care/the nanny won't come" is not the intent of that law. It's for caring for sick family members, basically. And it does not guarantee you get paid during that leave time, and it does not apply to employers with fewer than 50 employees. By "parental" leaves do you mean...what, exactly? The parental leave in aware of tends to be for time after a child is born.

Taking a leave of absence is a possibility, but that isn't like FMLA or maternity/paternity leave. Maybe your employer has a generous leave if parents just hit a child care problem? That would be great, but I haven't heard of one. [/quote]
