[quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP, you should have posted this on one of the parenting pages. People on this forum come at everything from the perspective of "why can't you work harder?" Of course you CAN get fired if you're missing deadlines, falling asleep at work, etc but my experience has been that people are fairly understanding when it comes to sick kids. I would recommend setting up a meeting with your supervisor and explaining that your kids have had a lot of health challenges lately and you have been struggling with balancing the workload, and you are trying to figure out the best approach going forward. Could you take an extended leave? Do FMLA? Maybe go to a part-time schedule for 6 months until the worst has passed? As long as it doesn't seem like you're trying to take advantage, I think your employer will work with you. You are a high performer with specialized skills, it's a tight job market. They won't want to lose you.[/quote]
