Working when your child's ill - does your employer understand?

[reddaphne]

Wednesday morning is my team meeting morning. It's the only morning I really need to be in the office. DH has a job interview so he obviously has to go to that.
And guess what DC2 is sick so won't be able to go to nursery.
My boss will be pissed I already know it.
It's so typical!!

How does everyone else juggle child sickness and nursery age kids?

Is your employer understanding?

I'd hate anyone I work with to be in that position. I know it might be necessary in some places.

Ultimately, even if I'd an inner eye roll about an absence, I'd never be anything other than supportive if one of my team needed to take leave to care for a DC.
