[quote=Anonymous]First, this sucks.

Second, you honestly don't get points for never calling in sick or never using your PTO.  Use it.  Life is short.  Stop begrudging others for using it.

Thirdly, please don't follow OP's advice and just drop your kid off before school with no supervision.  That's not allowed at any school.  I wish we had staffing to provide supervision outside to families in need, but we just don't, and the school can't be responsible for her safety.

Third, who can you pay in your circle of availability?  For instance, we have LOTS of young teachers at my kid's sxhoomwho's be happy to get paid $50/hour to babysit your kid before school for two weeks.   Or maybe your kids' friends have siblings in high school and would live a temp gig for two weeks.

If you can afford private school, presumably you can blow a few hundred bucks on a backup plan?

I don't at all mean to say it doesn't suck.  It really does.  But please don't think you earned this because of your virtue as a stellar employee.  It's okay to take leave.  No one is going to your perfect attendance record on your gravestone when you die an early death from stress and self-righteousness.  [/quote]
