[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since we're sharing crossing-the-line stories, DH's boss informed DH "you need to talk to your wife about sharing the sick kid time more equitably"... after I took the first day, he took a day, and I took the next day to care for a sick kid with severe asthma at home.

Apparently the boss thinks the man of the house staying home at all for a child is completely inequitable.

Or more likely, he has no idea you were home the first and the third day and just sees your DH periodically leaving to take care of the kids.

If her DH's boss doesn't know who is taking sick leave and when, he should keep his mouth shut.  The only concern of managers should be whether quality work is getting done on time.  If the sick days taken for a child somehow impact that, then say that's an issue.  Don't hint around that it's a problem or suggest other child care plans.  If you were promoted to be a manager, have the balls to say when something is legitimately an issue and research where the boundaries are.  [/quote]
