I was even further impressed when the school sent her teacher with her in the ambulance -- and also a car to follow it so that the teacher could get back to school.

I was recently in a grocery store that I don't usually go to. I had my cell phone and one child was at home and one child was at dance class--I was completely certain I was available should they need to talk to me. But when I tried to use the phone, no signal at all. It was very annoying! I've been in this store, just not recently & I'm sure I would have noticed previously that I didn't have a cell signal. It's in a coummunity of many sahms , it is very likely that occasionally some are in the store during school hours--probably happens every day.

I am not a sah, but I am a wah. I just spent the late afternoon at away xc meet for my dd, my ods was at a soccer game on an island off the coast, and my yds was at an art class. I still haven't got the hang of being in 3 places at once.

If something happened to my son at his soccer game, it would have been hours before I could reach his side. My cell phone also died this afternoon, so I was unexpectedly unavailable for hours.

I'm not sure what "sah" availability has to do with emergency contact numbers and giving permission for emergency care by school personnel, because I think it would work the same way whether I worked or not.

< if i'm volunteering and a true emergency happened with another child,i know i could leave as have others i know!>

If there is a "true" emergency, what employer wouldn't let an employee leave their job to tend to the emergency?

So in other words the reason that you can be easily contacted has nothing at all to do with the fact that you are a SAHM but has everything to do with the fact that you are always have ready access to a phone.

That is not necessarily any different for a WOHM.

People who are easy to contact are those that have easy access to a phone regardless of their work status.

People who are hard to contact are those that do not have easy access to a phone regardless of their work status.
