[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never, really.  Even when they are at school I'm the one on call.  It's not like I can head to Rehobeth and for a beach day and relax and drink margaritas.  I can get stuff done around the house, I can run errands, I can work out but I need to be ready to snap to it and pick a kid up as needed.[/quote]

But isn’t that the case for every parent?  Although DH and I woh we are still responsible for sick days, snow days, dr & dentist appt, and pick-up if one is sick.  That’s just parenting.[/quote]

Yeah that post was weird.[/quote]

I don't believe that my husband has ever been interrupted at work to pick up a sick kid.  I don't think he has ever stayed home with a sick kid. Granted, we are lucky that our kids don't get sick that often. When I say that I have been the one "on call" all of the time, I truly do mean that.  This is just the way that has worked out best for us.  I'm not going to say it's the best way, it has just been our way of handling things.  Now that the kids are older and can drive themselves places...it is not a big deal.  But when they were younger it really was a significant thing.[/quote]
