[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would you do if you got sick? My kids wanted their mom around when they were sick. 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]

My kids are very comfortable with their loving nanny.  Plus colds don’t require mom.  [/quote]

Right, but not all illnesses are colds. So what would OP do when his/her child is sick? [/quote]

Severely ill, I would stay home and miss work, obviously.

-OP here.  The point is I cannot miss work for the common cold or nanny being out.  [/quote]
You should have thought about that before having kids.[/quote]

I agree this is part of parenting suck it up. You can’t outsource your duties as a parent because you don’t want to miss work. You seem like you’d rather work than be bothered with your kid anyway [/quote]

Something tells me your attitude wouldn't be the same if your surgeon cancelled because their kid was sick.  Good grief.

For most people, missing work is NBD.  I'm a lawyer, and for me it certainly isn't absent some uncommon circumstances, such as a trial or significant court appearance.  But some jobs, when missed, have significant impacts on other people.  It's astonishing that you people don't get this.  Is it really that difficult to understand?  [/quote]
