Do any of you see the problem with how we are treated as women? This is not okay!! 🙅

What does your employment contract say? If it’s not something written in there, then it’s pretty much tough luck. Maybe try and negotiate for more sick or vacation days at your next review? Unfortunately that’s what most people have to use when their kids are sick - their own vacation and sick days.

Your job description is what it is. It’s your job to make sure daycare and childcare is taken care of - even with sick kids...if it’s starting to directly affect the way you work or work in general, then you need to find someone who is available to you for your kids or adjust your availability.

Returning to work after 8 weeks, was that a decision based on you or your job because of maternity leave?

Your job is already being lenient about the fact that you have a kid because they’re allowing you to do these things for him but seeing as it’s a reoccurring issue, it’s now becoming a problem within your job. They need someone who’s reliable and right now, you can’t because baby is constantly sick. Your employer simply needs someone more consistent, try to find some help so it stops interfering with work at much . Good luck mama.

Find another job that offers more flexibility. An employer doesn't have to comply with your life unfortunately. If it isn't in your work description to be able to work from home they don't have to let you.
