[quote=Anonymous]Oof totally agree. It's so frustrating. I'm the mom, and I handle doctors/dentists, so that works out okay, but my husband is in charge of school stuff and I cannot get them to call him. A few weeks ago, my kid was sick at school, I was unreachable - they left me two voice mails, two remind messages, and three texts, and finally called my husband nearly 30 mins later. Meanwhile, he's working from home, easily accessible, and could have been at the school to get the kid in less than 10 minutes.

If you're going to call the mom first, and you get voice mail, you should at the very least immediately call dad. Why on earth they twiddled their thumbs for 30 minutes I have no idea.

Oh, and forget about it with nannies. I know there are cultural differences at play (both our nannies were immigrants) but you cannot get a nanny to call a dad. Not humanly possible. Doesn't matter that dad is UPSTAIRS and mom is unreachable. I think they literally would have called 911 before calling my husband. (Which they can do OUT LOUD from the stairwell). [/quote]
