I have a sick 1-year-old going on day 3 of a fever at home, so I took the day off to try and help him get better. I then found out I am only allotted two sick days to take care of sick family members the entire school year! And I already used one! Now I'm wondering if my district is one of the stingier ones or if all of you have similar amounts of sick time to take care of family?

I don't think any of the school districts are part of a union here

That is unusual. Are you in a public, private, or charter school? If you're in a public school, that sounds highly unusual. Check your state laws regarding sick and family leave. Often Charter Schools break state laws and teacher's are too afraid to report it. Private schools, would assume, like a private business, which it technically is, may not fall under state law.

Check the Family Leave Act. It's a federal law so should apply in all 50 states. If not, you might get in touch with your local congressman to address this issue at the state level. Mine's helped me several times with various things.

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?
