[quote=Anonymous]I find that there are two types of parents out there with regard to this issue. The first type sees through the lens of how the illness is an inconvenience to *them* and they are of the “the show must go on” mindset and act accordingly. The second type sees the illness as an inconvenience to the sick child and how it can also inconvenience others and acts accordingly. When I meet someone new and am trying to figure them out, the sick kid situation is a good litmus test. Kind of like going to a restaurant on a first date and seeing how your date treats the service staff. It’s a pretty good indicator of how they treat others. Needless to say the first type of parent is not my cup of tea. And yes, I WOH full time, and it’s a huge inconvenience and takes a lot of work on my part to take off work but it’s my responsibility as a parent. [/quote]
