Trying not to judge, but hopefully your employer can be understanding. Instead of coming up with backup childcare plans, figure out back up work plans.[/quote]

Again, it’s not the flexible employer in jobs like these.  It’s thinks like postponing your knee replacement because your surgeon’s kid had a cold and his nanny was sick or cancelling your flight because the pilot’s nanny had the flu.  [/quote]

The vast majority of posters here have office jobs.  They don’t understand how others cannot miss work unless it’s an emergency.  It’s not self-importance - it’s the nature of the work.  [/quote]

Critical jobs always have backup personnel; there is another doctor available, another firefighter. Get over yourself.  I work in such an industry and the assumption is the work has to get done, so you staff accordingly not depend on one person.
