Right now it's me because I'm at a temp job and he has the more stable job. Before we would take turns calling.
DD 2 has been sick so much since starting daycare that I'm losing $$ not working and still paying for daycare!

-
At the beginning of the year I usually stay home because my time is a lump sum and DH's accrues.
-
Depends on the day. DH teaches on Mondays and Wednesdays, so if she is sick one of those days I take off. If it's a Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday DH stays home with her.
-
We try to take turns.
-
Usually me but if I must be in the office DH will
-
With Xander, it was usually me that did because I was nursing and I didn't like having to pump if there was a reason for me to be home with the baby. But with Logan, I suspect it'll be Hubs who stays home more because I've exhausted my vacation time while on maternity leave and can't afford to stay home...
-
we try to take turns, but i think it has been me more often because i start work later and have been the one home with LO and DH is already gone to work and then LO pukes so i stay home
-
We take turns, but the first day is usually me unless I have a meeting/appointment/ect. DH it's harder for him to get away because he has a very small office, I'm part of a huge office so they don't "miss" me as much.
-
We either both stay home and try to each do a half day from home, or else it's usually me since I can get away with using PTO while DH usually has to work late into the night to make up any work he misses.
-
We trade off as much as we can. See who's schedule can take the hit, but sometimes one of us is more free than the other. Right now, I have to hoard my days before I can activate STD, so DH will have to pick up a few more
-
I usually take the first day off since it's easier for me to do so with my job but if DS is sick longer then we will trade off.
-
We usually split the day. In fact today LO is sick and DH is home with him in the morning and I will be home with him in the afternoon.
-
I work from home, so usually it's me. If it's something that takes her out for more than 1 day, I usually do the first day, and DH will do the next day. It's something that's really important to me: making sure my job is valued and I get the same consideration as if I worked out of the house.
-
Usually me, because I have a very flexible workplace and job responsibilities (barring a few projects). I can work at home off-hours to finish my work. If I have to be in the office or have a lot on my plate we will occasionally both work from home so that we can spell each other off! Not ideal, but it works.
-
Really depends on the day - neither of us prioritize our job over the others', but certain day to day meetings/project/etc will get prioritized. I can also easily work from home.
-
Usually DH, he's salaried and can work from home, I'm hourly and dont get paid if I'm not at work.
-
Usually me since DH travels Mon - Thurs but if he is home, he does.
-
We both have flexible schedules, so we take turns. But more often than not it's me because mine is more work at home-able than DH. His is more after hours work that he can do at home.
-
DH doesn't leave for work until around 2pm usually, so most of the time I leave work early to take over.
-
We take turns but dh can work from home with her so he does more often now.
-
Usually me because I can telecommute and DH started a new job less than a year ago. I'm starting a new job soon though so we will have to default to DH probably.
-
It's almost always me since I WAH and daycare is just a 2 min walk from our place (if they become ill at school).
-
We used to take turns, but now it's always me because DH exhausted all his leave during a health crisis last year. It's hard for me to miss work because I work in healthcare and have patients lined up all day, but my boss/coworkers are generally very understanding about it. There's only 5 of us... my male boss is very nice and the other three women I work with are all moms, so they get it.
-
It depends. My DH's job is structured in a way that makes it really difficult for him to call out sick unless absolutely necessary, but his hours are not the typical 9-5. So if he doesn't have to work, he stays home with DD so I don't have to take time off. But if he does have to work, I pretty much have to use sick leave. Of course, the last time she was sick, DH was out of town for the week so it was me, me, me!
-
Usually me because my work is flexible and I can work from home. It's one of the perks I love about my job and can't seem to leave. I'm afraid the next opportunity won't be as flexible.
-
Me, or we ask for help from grandparents. DH is self-employed and has very limited options to cover for him to be off. It also means we have not had a vacation, other than a long weekend since our honeymoon. Sigh. Sorry to thread jack.
-
Typically me because my schedule is super flexible but if I can't miss then DH will
