My kids need coverage 24/7, as do many minors. Pretty sure I could find care for them for any hour of any day, but it gets darn expensive and isn’t as ideal as them being watched by their parents. At times, we use professional help and pay for it.

At one point can I say care “isn’t available” and use FMLA to make my workdays more efficient by generating premium pay?

Just trying to understand the guardrails here. There are probably thousands of parents and adults with aging parents who have the same questions.
