[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]... What do you do for child care?

DH and I are both expected to work from home or take PTO on snow days. For me, even if I say "I take PTO", emails could be flying every minute, many from my boss and my peers (all men without child care issues), and I feel like I'm always at disadvantage compared to them, and that people have to wait for me (oh, yes, Betsy has little kids! Yeah, I remember her being pregnant. Let me just remind this to the other 20 people on this call that had no trouble finding the time to work today. I guess we just can't accomplish anything because Betsy is not here... One more time,people, she does have little kids).. If I ask the nanny to come in (I can even drive her in my car), she'll be all upset that she had to work and shows her attitude... So if there is too much snow we give her a paid day off... We normally kind of winging it with me getting up like at 5 am, doing work until kids get up, and taking half a day of PTO, and then DH takes the opposite half (and hopefully clears the driveway while at it). Still, I can't pay attention to kids enough due to phone calls/email. Basically, it is becoming total chaos, with neither work getting done nor kids being happy. And by the way, the work ain't going away just because it snowed, and deadlines don't move.

I have asked around, but none of the neighbors are interested in babysitting... Tomorrow will be a similar day.

So, I'm curious, how do other people solve similar problems?[/quote]

I have live in childcare. Simple.[/quote]
