[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 149775"] If I didn't work for such a great firm, I would have been fired a long time ago. I have been here 3 years. Within 2 weeks of starting my job, my husband died, so I had that to cope with. Then it has been one thing after another, doctors appts, etc. And then when things started getting bad with difficult child, it has been A LOT of missed time because of him. I am able sometimes to work through lunch so I can leave an hour early for appts, but sometimes you can't get appts late in the day. I try when possible to work through lunch to make up for at least some of the hours that I miss during the week, they have been really good about that. I use up all of my sick leave, sometimes using into the next month. I received my new vacation for 2008 at the end of March, and I have already used 7 out of 10 days because of difficult child. When I had my last review in November. One of my bosses told me that he completely understands, that my job is not at risk, that I am just missing out on certain opportunities right now, but there will be other opportunities down the road. He is very family oriented. He doesn't necessarily understand and agree with everything that I am going through with difficult child, but he understands the need for a parent to deal with and cope with their child.
