Although, I once forgot about a public holiday, so we got to school and it was closed and had to come home. There was a lot of screen time that day while I tried to work. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-kids-when-school-is-canceled-or-its-on-a-break#post-2151938 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 23:02:19 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2151938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: we will usually both wfh so we can juggle who is watching them if one of us has to be on a call or has deadline to make. We are of course less productive so it's all about prioritizing what needs to get done. Sometimes we'll finish up what we need to do after the kids go down if we have to. We don't find it as hard as when they were younger though bc they're pretty good at entertaining themselves now for decent chunks of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-kids-when-school-is-canceled-or-its-on-a-break#post-2151910 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 22:04:00 +0000 travellingbee 2151910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take turns staying home or occasionally my mom will watch him. She lives 45 minutes away so it isn't super easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-kids-when-school-is-canceled-or-its-on-a-break#post-2151902 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 21:48:10 +0000 mrbee 2151902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: How does it go when they're at home, but you're working? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-kids-when-school-is-canceled-or-its-on-a-break#post-2151896 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 21:42:29 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2151896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take PTO or try to juggle working from home with the kids around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-the-kids-when-school-is-canceled-or-its-on-a-break#post-2151894 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 21:41:08 +0000 mrbee 2151894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If there are no other options, we stick the kids in their old daycare. It's a tough pill to swallow though, because it costs almost 2x what programs for older kids cost!! The kids absolutely love it though, so it works well for one-off days. If it's a whole week though, we usually try and find other accommodations. </p> <p>What do you do with the kids when school is canceled or it's on a break? </p>
