[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It is unetheical and if you work for the federal government may illegal to bill hours without childcare for young children. [/quote]

But this thread is about elementary age children. I'm a fed and I'm not aware of any rule regarding not being able to telework with elementary age children. Teleworking with a 6 year old is vastly different from teleworking with an infant/toddler/preschooler.[/quote]

I wasn't aware they differentiated by age when it comes to child care.  Do they?  It would make sense, I guess, but I have a 6 year old and he's not exactly independent!  And not vastly different from a preschooler (preschool ends at 4/5).[/quote]

I assume that if you need to be home with the kid, you can't officially work from home on snow days. But if it's a liberal leave/unscheduled telework day, maybe you can fudge it. Or, if you have an understanding boss, maybe you can do some telework and take some leave.

When my kids were littler, I went through a LOT of annual leave between kid illnesses and school closings. My kids would wonder about why their friends got to go on such long vacations in the summer and over holiday breaks, and I would explain that my leave had been eaten up by strep and snow days.

It's easier now. Hang in there![/quote]
