Do you keep your LO in DC even if you are home? I've been at home on spring break all this week, and except for this morning (because I had a certification exam to take), I kept LO home with me the whole time. He's only 15 months, so it's not like he's missing important lessons or anything
I do stay on DC's schedule though- snack at 9, lunch at 11, nap time from 12-2, etc, but I love the extra time with him and feel bad about him being there when I am at home. And plus, it's so boring, lonely and quiet to be home without him. Just wondering what other moms do.

It depends if I had vacation weeks at daycare or not. If I had to pay for daycare regardless, they'd be going. I would take advantage and get stuff caught up at home.
I have every Friday off and I keep DS home with me. I am considering putting him in daycare that day too, but he is almost 3 and we have a DD coming in June.
DH and I also have federal holidays off and we keep DS home with us on thos
If I were home for a week, I'd probably have DS home for some of the time.
However, if I take just a day off, I'll usually send him.
I like having extra time w/ him, but I also like having time for me and to run errands w/o him.

If I get furloughed I am sending B to DC. I'll use that time to get all our weekend chores/errands done so we can spend more time as a family on the weekends. Plus, I have to pay for her full time spot regardless.

Usually when I take time off it's because I have an appointment for myself, or the kids (dr, parent/teacher conference etc) so I would still have our au pair watch the kids. I don't see a reason to "drag" them with me. If I took a day off t
I do a little of both. I only keep DS home with me if I have something planned to do. If I'm trying to get the house clean, or run errands, I'd probably take him to preschool thinking he is going to get more value being there than being hauled around w
I get a significant amount of time off and DS is always with me on my off days. However, he's only in pre-kindergarten. He starts kindergarten this year so I won't be able to pull him out of school on my off days.
Oh believe me, once he sta
If I had a full week off - then I would keep them home, so I could use a daycare vacation week.
But, if I'm taking off a friday to get things done, I will take them to school and just pick them up early. I don't feel guilty sending them to
I would send LO to daycare long enough to go to the gym and maybe get a facial or do some shopping. It would likely just be for lunch, nap time and a little play time.
But I'd like to spend the days with her otherwise.
I don't get any time off that DC isn't also closed (in fact DC is closed more days than my work is). But Dh gets a few days like Martin Luther King and President's day. He usually does house projects and the kids go to DC as usual. </
