[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a sahm who is about to go back to work. Telecommuting is not an option. What do all you working moms do for childcare when we have so many snowdays like we've had this year?[/quote]

The options seem to be:

Take a vacation day
See if spouse can take a vacation day
See if a snow day camp is open and has space and you can afford it
See if a neighbor can watch them for the day[/quote]

SAHM here.

I'm thinking if I took vacation days for all the snowdays we've had the past few weeks, I'd be fired!
My spouse is a surgeon so its difficult for him to take vacation days.
Where do you find snowday camps? Sounds like a good idea.
We're not close to our neighbors.[/quote]

I used to be a working mom. DH is also a surgeon and he has never taken a snow day hit. Hospital is always open.

We had over 10 snow days and 10 two hour delays last year. I ended up quitting my job. The people who really make it work are ones who have FT nannies even with older children or near by family.

Between breaks and snow days, I am pretty sure my kids were off 20 days in December and January. That would have wiped out all if not most of my PTO. [/quote]
