Hi all, so I’ve been a SAHM for 18 years...yes 18Years I have 3 beautiful boys 18, 14 & 10 and I have also lost 3 boys in this time. So it has been busy. I’ve now gone back to work, literally, this is my first week back. 3 days in and my youngest is now sick with a vomiting bug, nice.
Anyway when I had my interview I explained about being the sole carer for my boys ( my hubby works stupid hours and can not/will not take time out to look after sick kids. I made a rod for my own back years ago I know ) so when I phoned today and explained the situation I was shocked that my bosses attitude was not as understanding as I would have wanted. Nobody else in the office has children so the concept of having to take time out to look after them and stick to the schools 48 hour policy is lost on them.
He has made me feel guilty for taking time out to look after my youngest who can’t help being ill.
Having not been in an office environment for years I don’t know whether this is a normal reaction from a boss or whether he’s being unreasonable and May sack me???
