[QUOTE="cameronellis, post: 149799, member: 5142"] It is a miracle truly a blessing from God that I have never lost a job considering all that I have gone through with my son. I have always worked professional level jobs where either I was in charge or worked very self directed where coming and going did not affect my ability to get my work done. I have no set schedule that anyone cares about as long as I am at work for core business hours. The problem is that when I have to leave early, come in late, miss time, leave in the middle of the day, not come in at all, the work still has to get done. So I take work home. Come in at night. Come in on the weekends trying to get things done that I was not able to do during the work day. It takes time away from my other son and leaves me exhausted. But I still feel thankful. There are many, many types of jobs I could not have been able to keep with all of these crises over the years. Imagine a doctor who had to leave in the middle of surgery when her kid got kicked out of another daycare? Or a lawyer who left in the middle of a trial when her kid got suspended and she had to pick him up. Or a customer service rep who spent more time on the phone with her child's care giver than she did helping customers. I guess in the midst of all of this, things could be worse and I have to remind myself of that. [/QUOTE]
