[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sitting here 8 mos pregnant with norovirus running through the house with a 4 yr old and 6 yr old (cancelling a planned vacation) and wondering how TF anyone with dual high powered jobs handle this without a sahp? A full time nanny with school age children perhaps? So much vomit. We are wrecked after last night and I’m thankfully not working today but my husband is. Not sure a nanny would want to touch this mess.[/quote]

[b]They would take sick leave like a normal person.[/b]

Lol you think SAHM’s don’t have help.

BTW call a wash and fold place to get the laundry done.

Order groceries and have them delivered.

A cleaning person is $150.

It’s not all that complicated.

I think perhaps it’s so hard because you can’t really mitigate issues when they arrive and you make small issues big.

Your “power H” could take a vacation but not a sick day? SMFH[/quote]

Yes, 1 person takes sick leave and then you both argue about who has more important things going on at work (although the day after Christmas who has anything important going on?). And not everyone can just take sick leave or even gets a lot of sick leave.

We actually argue about who gets to take sick leave, laying on the couch all day watching kid movies.

[b]Yes everyone gets sick leave it’s the law.[/b][/quote]

So much privilege speaking in the "everyone gets sick leave" statement.

Not everyone gets sick leave.  If you are an individual contractor, hourly worker or are self-employed, you do not get sick leave. In many of those situations, if you do not work, you do not get paid.

In other employment situations, a person may technically get sick leave but if is not permitted to take it to care for someone else (child or elder), or it may be frowned upon to take it to the extent that if is a black mark on your performance either explicitly or implicitly making you an "unreliable" worker.

In addition, some
people have jobs where they really aren't in a position to take sick leave to care for an ill family member - they may be on travel frequently or in a work space that doesn't allow for the kind of contact during the work day that would allow one to respond to sick calls from school. [/quote]

Everyone gets sick leave. Not everyone gets paid sick leave.

It’s not as complicated as your trying to make it sound, but that probably why you can’t do both.[/quote]

Oh, if only more people were like you and could spend their time trying to keep white collar criminals out of jail and less people were like pp caring for her sick parents.  The whole world could be a hellhole.  [/quote]

I’m not the lawyer. But everyone has the right to a defense. It’s in the constitution.

People who work also care for their sick parents. It’s  a wild fake world you’ve created in your head.

There are also SAHM who moved to DC for their husbands job who don’t care for their sick parents.[/quote]

Read the thread before you comment.  [/quote]

I did. You are twisting yourself in knots to justify your life to strangers.

Look in the mirror and give yourself a high 5, be happy with your life and stop trying to justify it.

Some people can work and do everything you do, some can’t. It’s okay hon.[/quote]

Really, you are the only one making up crazy stuff trying to justify your life.  Everyone else seems perfectly reasonable, even if they disagree.

You keep insisting that you don’t have to make any tradeoffs in life and don’t need any help or support from your spouse because you are, somehow, superhuman and not limited by space and time.  
I’m not sure if this is just internet hyperbole or if you are, in fact, delusional.

It’s really not that complicated.

You drop kids at school, go to work, pick them up and do it all over again the next day.

You’re making up stories about everyone working 70 hours a week in jobs with no sick leave and no phones for schools to contact parents.[/quote]

No one has a job making $600-800k/yr and only working the hours kids are in school.
