[quote=Anonymous]Her husband sounds like a jerk in how he is communicating with OP. But, I can try to see things from his point of view. He is earning 75% of the income and likely is feeling the stress of being the breadwinner. It sounds like OP made a choice to take a "dream job with a crap salary" and also was pushing for the second child, which maybe he felt they couldn't afford.  OP's husband doesn't want to take more time off work for career reasons probably, and he might be right - they NEED him to keep this higher earning salary.

OP some other things that might help would be to contact your child's preschool and school, or better yet have your HUSBAND connect with the parents and administrators (because of sexism, concern from a dad always carries more weight, I'm sorry but it is true) and have HIM reach out to other parents, the PTA, the principal etc and express his concern about constant child illness, and see if people could be encouraged to bring back masking for a while, or look into all the other strategies child care used in the past ( like spacing for lunch, etc). Surely other parents also are having trouble with needing to take constant days off for sick children.[/quote]
