[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I added it up.  Including a few doctors appointments that could not be scheduled at other times, I've missed 9 days combined from July through January including 4 days for the Flu for both of my kids.

It was 1 day July (kid), 1 day september (me), 4 hours combined appointments october + 4 days flu, December - 1/2 day kid, January 1 day me, 1 day kid.[/quote]

That is not a lot at all! I would say that’s pretty average or even less than average for parents of multiple young kids.[/quote]

9 days in six months is not a lot?  If the next six months are similar it will be 18 days/year![/quote]

It is not a lot, no. People with young kids have to take a lot of sick time. [/quote]

And that's why some employers try to avoid hiring people with kids, or seem like they will soon have kids.  [/quote]

[b]Well, old people take a lot of time off work too[/b], and frequently it is for longer periods of time. My coworkers in their 50s and 60s all took several weeks off for rotator cuff surgery, hernia surgery, knee surgery, etc. People are humans and have to take time off. It’s not just parents of young kids.

Yes, and I'm sure you've heard of (older) age discrimination in hiring too.  [/quote]
