[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I no longer work but it's really hard to be a working mom. DH outearned me and I was the default parent with sick days, snow days, school events, etc. The first year of elementary, my child had over 10 snow days, at least 10 two hour delays and that doesn't include other random days off and breaks. there are so many events during the middle of the day.[/quote]

Yeah, I don't know how employers feel about it. My coworkers havebtaken off for vacations, a kid with lice, teen kid in car accident. I mean, I've had coworkers get in a car accident during work and be expected to return to work after they were medically cleared on the same day. [/quote]

I can remember two women fired for poor performance. Both these women called out a lot for various reasons due to their children. I don't think they were fired for the absences but both women never made deadlines and often missed meetings. They both left early and never made up work due to their absences. Everyone suffered.[/quote]
