Apologies for a moan and a rant! My DS (22 months) has turned into one of those kids who picks up bugs pretty easily and generally he is ill on the only two days that myself and DH both work - typical! Problem is both my bosses are pretty unsympathetic when I have to take time off to look after him. Bearing in mind that in 12 years of employment I have had 2 days sick leave (both of those post pregnancy as picked bug up from DS!) I think a bit of understanding wouldn't go a miss.
I write this as I cradle DS after an afternoon of vomiting and the prospect of phoning in sick tomorrow! Again! I just wish I could be one of those people who says "my child needs me and the rest of the world can take a hike!" I suffer guilt from all sides!!!! Grr!
P.s my pre-baby self would be unsympathetic, but both bosses have kids too!
