[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh hush about inequity.  Parents with young kids are struggling enough.  Jesus.

I have a teen I don’t need to watch and would not begrudge a colleague with young kids the day off.  I needed that when I was younger and was in the hole with leave.  [/quote]

Brava.

We need some sort of childcare leave that applies to parents of children in elementary school or younger in cases where schools or childcare facilities are closed in their location. [/quote]

Agree.  Plus this would put pressure on schools not to close unnecessarily.

Which is probably why it isn’t getting done.[/quote]

All the kids still home from college and kids off HS today. Literally millions of people around to watch your kid today. Open your purse honey [/quote]

What are you talking about? Babysitters? Great. Not enough of them available on a few hours notice in case you had no clue, which is obvious.

Most parents with young kids trade off supervising, put kids in front of the tube, letting other parents watch for a bit etc. when schools are closed.  It’s a patchwork, and as a manager I’m not watching that closely. I don’t want to know!

Seriously, just be reasonably available and meet your deadlines. I don’t care.[/quote]
