[quote=Anonymous]I am SO stressed!! We have had SO much sickness this fall/winter. My kids had the flu in the fall for 1 week and we’ve had a couple of scattered days after that maybe 1-2. Then this January I’ve been for going on 3 weeks now with a cough. I only took 1 day Friday before MLK weekend and then I had to take Tuesday as well for my one child. My husband took Wednesday with our child (he got approval to WFH). Friday, our younger child was sick and coughing so hard he was gagging and crying. He stayed home with my husband. We thought it was over!!! No! He woke up with a high fever this morning.

My husband is afraid to take off or ask to WFH again and I work at a school and I am not allowed to WFH. Everyone does but we have to still use sick leave but can’t fall behind on work. I had a meeting with my supervisor today and a review scheduled next week with my boss. They’ve already brought up “taking so much sick leave”.

I have searched before for paid sick care but I’ve not been able to find any where I live. I’m going to check again so I can try to have a plan in place. I have NO family and my neighbors won’t help if my kids are sick (they have kids themselves).

My husband has taken a few days but he has limited leave. I’m terrified one of us will be fired because of this. I don’t think I can take intermittent FMLA because it’s just regular viruses that last 1-3 days per kid Most of the time.

Ugg are there any other options I haven’t thought of?? [/quote]
