[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]

I’m a nurse and I bet OP is also a healthcare worker who fits into an intricate coverage schedule, and that’s why the employer sometimes says “no” — even though we are college-educated, well-compensated professionals.  I can’t just announce that I will be arriving 2 hours late for the next X weeks because I have PTO. If that type of thing flew, and all of us took advantage, your mother will get substandard medical care. You will lay there in excruciating pain after your knee replacement because we all took PTO and your meds will just have to wait

All to say OP, if you are part of a healthcare puzzle, you knew the deal going in. Hire pricey short-term care.  [/quote]
