[quote=Anonymous]I don't think you are going to find backup care for when your kid is sick. It's just not realistic if you don't earn a tone of money. Your husband needs to step up. I am a teacher and my husband is too, so we don't have flexible schedules or the option to work from home. I have family that lives locally, but I don't ask my elderly parents to watch my children when they are sick because I don't want to get them sick. When our kids are sick, we just take turns taking the day off. I worry about using all my sick leave, and there have been a few times I have had to take leave without pay, like when I came back from maternity leave and had no sick leave left, but I still have my job and so does my husband. Your solution is that your husband needs to step up. I think that is the only solution, honestly. He chose to have kids too and he is also responsible for their care. Good luck.[/quote]
