Reply #222: Serious question to anyone planning on this. What will you do to make sure your kid(s) are cared for

during the 2 weeks they need to stay home from school or daycare? Schools and daycares generally say children must stay home for the 2 wks from first sore to all scabbed over. What are you planning on doing with your child(ren) during that time period?

Taking them to work and exposing people there, or to the store when you go get groceries, those are both bad ideas.

When my child got chickenpox, I was lucky enough to mostly work opposite times from my partner, so one of us could stay home, ended up each missing only a couple days of work.
