[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you're getting a little lack of sympathy because pre-covid this is an issue that all working parents had to figure out.  It was a pain; it was expensive.

But what's kind of unique in your situation is that it seems like it is a bit sudden and you're not looking for a long term solution but a make-do solution.  In many ways that makes it a lot easier since the 'costly' solutions won't add up to a ton of $$ for only two weeks (thus, the lack of sympathy).  But it also means that a lot of solutions the rest of us relied on aren't in play.  I'm sure it seems daunting to hire a stranger to drive your kid.  But if you don't want to bug friends/neighbors, that's the other option.

NP and I have always been able to use my vacation time so long as deadlines are met.  I have never heard of someone not being able to use their vacation time outside of something like nursing where shifts are scheduled far in advance.[/quote]

You're in a professional position where you can likely set pretty flexible hours as long as you complete your assignments.  There are a ton of other jobs (like your nursing example) that depend on a person being in a work setting at specific times and it's not easy to get someone to fill in for an hour here or there at the bottom and top of the day. Even many office jobs are that way.  If our receptionist/office manager is out from 5-6, there will be a lot of people inconvenienced and less productive, themselves.
