[quote=Anonymous]I think you should have some overall principals that your agree to and let that help guide decisions.  Like:

-No one goes in the red unless unusual circumstances/ emergency
-No one uses vacation days if other has sick days left
-No one should have to miss work on critical days (talked about in advance - work trips, workshops being run by one of you, etc.)
-It shouldn't be on any one person's shoulders (eg your husband shouldn't be responsible for all of the sick days)
-You come up with some kind of equitable way to plan ahead (block out critical days and other person is 'on deck' for those days, count up days of sick leave and figure out way to allocate them (you take 1, DH takes next 2, you take next, etc.)
-have a back up plan for days when kid isn't super sick (back-up nanny service, grandparent help, etc.)

Having a rational conversation when it's not 6 in the morning and you're fighting over who should stay home is probably a better way to get to real options you can consider[/quote]
