[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] He thinks I'm trying to have it all, and shouldn't have had a second child if I wanted to pursue my dream job with a crap salary. He agreed to the second child, but he would have been perfectly happy without. I didn't think having 2 kids and a 40 hour/week job would be so difficult. If we could afford $40/hour on top of daycare, we'd just get a nanny. [/quote] OK, that makes some sense. He didn't want the second child as much as you did. Of course you can't afford $40/hour for sick care every day, but you also can't afford to take more days off right? And leaving your job would be the least affordable. People who are suggesting FMLA leave - that's leave without pay, so how much per hour would that cost you, and how much would it hurt your career? You have to factor that into the equation, too. Maybe better to spend $2000 in sick kid care this year versus leaving your job for 3 months.[/quote]
