Does she not get paid when she's deployed? I would imagine that could pay for daycare.

Yep, she is getting paid just like the last two times. I was approved for PFML when she went to New Mexico and to California, 3 weeks and 2 weeks. The problem with childcare is not paying for childcare. it's my work hours that prevent me from doing it every day. There are days when im 200 miles from home working someone's facility and staying there until the work is completed. I have worked 20 hours straight some days. I am a Milwright, or Maintenance Contractor, going to Amazons, UPS, Fedex, Ontrac, and other places all over the Puget Sound area.
Trying to find daycare for extended hours is not easy. We have one we use, and they offer extended daycare, and I will be using it when they go back to school after the summer. IWill be taking my kids to the daycare early in the morning and they will take them to school for me and picking them up from school and when I finish work, I will pick them up at daycare. I will also be working for 7 months of her deployment.
Regardless, I get $50 deducted from my paychecks per month for PFML, and I qualify to use it for 12 weeks, then im going to use it.
