I took them to the doctor today and got a certificate for carers leave for tomorrow.
Iâm full WFH and tomorrow is like the one day a year event they want everyone to go to Marvel stadium for a bunch of pro work propaganda.
I may be having problems with my manager, but I might need to ride this out or find another fully remote role because I donât know how days like this will work otherwise

There isnât one answer that suits all families, someone has to give each time. We have grandmothers, but theyâre both older and medically compromised so we donât ask them to do the sick days, but they do help on school holidays. Luckily both our bosses are pretty understanding, and we share the load. But itâs a constant assessment every time, and we donât judge each other as parents for it. It isnât easy.
