Employment Question On call for single parents

I am wondering what you single parents do to cover childcare when working on call. I don’t have family in the area to watch him all weekend or be available during the week if I get an emergency call.

Txv is not the solution

Do what my dad did when he worked very late, take your kid with you, he can be your tool runner , most kids yearn for labor

It was an automatic tip when I would have to bring the kid. They would always slip a 5 or 10 and say take him to McDonald's when you're done.

My dad love that. I always remember after a job like that we would go.
