1. Daycare closed all week this week because there’s an outbreak in the teaching staff. I am thisclose to a promotion this is not the moment I wanted to take Yet Another week off.
2. My niece and nephew (vaccinated) have COVID right now and my SIL is incredibly blasé about exposing her parents when it comes to free childcare, which means another month without grandparents for my unvaccinated toddler.
3. We weren’t comfortable with swim lessons this weekend— a rainy weekend where we really wanted to get her out and some exercise.
4. We are looking at a third year running of cancelling my husband’s birthday in March… which just sucks.
why can’t DH take a week this time?
Because he took off *last* Weds-Fri when the *first* teacher got sick
and he has less sick leave than I do.
She only has two more teachers this can only happen twice more?!!?!
i m confused because you implied that you took a week in your OP. “Yet another week”- so in reality it was two days.
No, it’s other weeks from the fall (stayed home with a cold that wasn’t covid) and the spring (
stayed home for five days in order to visit a relative with cancer) not just this event. I took this week and my husband took last, just bad timing for me to be taking another week.
With all due respect, that was a choice.
It was a choice. A choice I made when rates were very low, and vaccines were rolling out, and
we had no reason to think come January we’d be back to this. But it was a choice and I recognize that. I would make the same choice, though, because not quarantining and potentially killing a family member would also have been a choice…
