[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Every job I've ever had I was told upfront not having a babysitter was not a good excuse to be absent from work.[/b] You got one warning if it did happen but fired after that.

No company can run if you miss work on a regular basis. They also don't do daycare for you.  Why did you have kids if you can't manage the kid days off ?[/quote]

AMEN!  It is not a company's responsibility to be lenient on a working mom with childcare problems due to winter weather if she is falling behind and her workload suffers.

It is also not fair to other working moms who manage to show up because they created childcare backup options so that they could manage their workloads.  [/quote]

If you accrue paid time off, then you should be able to use that time off for whatever purpose you like.

The employer should have a policy for unscheduled leave, and that then applies to everyone.  So if you have any kind of home emergency (maybe your hvac breaks in the middle of winter and you need to take off to deal with it immediately), there is a clear policy for calling in.
