[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I don't know what to tell you.  I am a physician married to another physician.  You probably don't know how to deal with these situations because you never went to med school or residency and had to deal with long hours and no money for a nanny.  [/quote]

I don't know what kind of physician you are, but I don't know a single anathesiologist that can walk out of the middle of surgery. And I surely have never seen a cardiologist walk out of the middle of a double bypass. I doubt you are a physician, maybe a pediatrician or a dentist. Certainly not a surgeon!

Please do share with me what surgical procedure you have walked out of the OR when the school called and told you Lara has a fever? Please share your ER experience when someone comes in in cardiac arrest and you've gotta a call from school and simply walked out the door. I'd love to hear that one. Maybe you work at the hospital for Unicorns.[/quote]
