That’s what it says on the forms I have to fill out for the kids’ preschool. “In the case of emergency or illness, I authorize the following to act on my behalf if I cannot be reached.”

I’m truly at a loss as to what to put in this space. Could I ask friends to be alternate contact in case one of the kids needs to be picked up because they are sick? Sure, but they wouldn’t have the car seat to transport said child. And emergency? In an emergency, you’re doing whatever it takes to take care of my kid, and then you are calling my husband or me. There is no alternate contact for an emergency. You could call my parents, but they aren’t “LOCAL”.
