[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 kids (1 in  ES and 1 in daycare) here. During school year, they are in school/daycare 7am to 6pm. We use before/after care for ES kid, and they cover some closing days. We plan to take PTO for non covered days and for sick days for both kids. For summer, they are in camps full day.

We could use day camp for non covered days, but due to covid, we limit exposures to different group of kids. It is manageable, and we have tons of vacation hours to cover for those days. We have not traveled for a long time, many pto days saved [/quote]

Not weird, different concerns and priorities. You don’t know their reasons. I have a ton of PTO stored now, mainly because we didn’t travel during COVID until after the vaccines were released and all the adults in our family where vaccinated. We also waited for COVID restrictions in the locations we were traveling to be lessened so that we could go out and enjoy our vacation. as a result, I have about 4 weeks of saved PTO, which is great to have in the bank.

We have travelled a good amount but that is a risk we are willing to take. DS goes to camp full time this summer. That is an acceptable level of risk for us. DS is currently in bed with COVID, our first go around in our house. I have been back in the office 4-5 days a week for months now. DS was at an outdoor camp. Maybe I was asymptomatic and passed it to him. Maybe he got it at camp. Who knows. COVID is out there and people who are at high risk or close to someone who are at high risk have good reason to continue to be cautious.[/quote]
