[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so strange. Both my kids went to preschool. Nanny dropped them at 9, picked them up at 12. OF COURSE I paid her for those hours. She's on call. If a kid vomits, are you hauling your ass out of work to get the kid? I didn't think so.[/quote]

I don't believe you are really a mother.  Of course I would leave work if my kid were vomiting at school or fell and needed stitches or whatever else is going on.  [/quote]

Stitches? Seriously depends on the injury  Sick? Considering my career, i don't get hysterical over common childhood illnesses. That is why I have a nanny. I could save myself 25k/yr and just send them to daycare if I could miss work all the time.

Not everyone can just up and leave work and commute back home. It would take me at least 25min to get home (depending on where I am) assuming I could sprint out of the hospital or office on a moments notice. Ever have a physician do that in the middle of a procedure or exam? How about an anesthesiologist or an OB?  Yea, sure, can someone cover for me and finish up this cesarean? Maybe the attending nurse can do it, she's seen enough, she'll be great! I happen to be a nurse anathesiologist and absolutely cannot walk out in the middle of surgery, even if the fire alarm is going off.

Many people have jobs that can't be abandoned on a moments notice, pretty much all first line responders,  critical hospital staff, trial attorneys, teachers, an the thousands of other people who have meetings and appointments where they can't stare at their phone every moment of the day.[/quote]
