There isn't one answer that suits all families, someone has to give each time. We have grandmothers, but they're both older and medically compromised so we don't ask them to do the sick days, but they do help on school holidays. Luckily both our bosses are pretty understanding, and we share the load. But it's a constant assessment every time, and we don't judge each other as parents for it. It isn't easy.
