[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where is your kids other parent and why aren’t they involved in caring for the kids when they are ill?

Even if you have sick or PTO time, yes you can be fired for performance reasons like your missing deadlines.

If your child’s SN qualify for FMLA, I would encourage you to file so that you have the job protection. You could use it intermittently. And if you are running on empty it might be a good idea to take a chunk up front to recover and then switch to intermittent leave. [/quote]

Address this now - take a few weeks, focus on getting healthy and resting so you don't totally burnout! That way you are communicating to your boss you are aware of the issue and are proactively addressing it, that this isn't just going to be the new normal for you (hopefully) or that the reason isn't that you don't care any more and are giving up. It looks worse to have ongoing issues for weeks at a time than for you to frame this as a single episode that you need to address and can come back and return to something closer to your previous work.[/quote]
