[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree this is your husband's problem to solve. You don't have a single neighbor who works from home? Where your kids could sit in their living room for an hour or two? I can think of like 10 people I could call for this in an emergency. Or, yeah, kids sit in your husband's office for two hours.

This is not always a realistic perspective. With the current job market/employment situation the way it is, some people, including many husbands, cannot just announce that they're going to skip a meeting last minute even when there is a big issue like a partner's jury duty and child care hanging in the balance. Many people are under A LOT of stress to show up and perform well at work right now in this economy. And not every workplace will just let kids sit in a husband's office (if there even is a traditional "office" to sit in -- what if her husband is in medicine or law enforcement or who knows what?)

As for neighbors, it's nice if an option exists in such an idyllic neighborhood, but in this day and age not everyone enjoys that sort of network, I certainly don't.

Working moms and working single dads do this kind of problem solving all the time.  A father can do this too.  [/quote]
