[quote=Anonymous]“Having backup and contingency plans is part of parenting.” This is a very privileged or uninformed statement. Can you describe to me a backup plan that doesn’t involve having family nearby or spending very large sums of money? My partner and I are privileged and when our center shutdown last summer unexpectedly due to staffing issues, we tried to utilize the backup care my work offers as a benefit. Guess what? The first day, they didn’t have someone available. The second day, they sent someone who had never cared for infants. And so on. So, I missed 2.5 days of work that week and my partner missed 2.5 days of work. We were lucky that the only consequences if that was less vacation time for other times and working at night when we should have been sleeping. What about for people who don’t have such flexible jobs? [/quote]
