I wish it was that simple. I don't get paid for time off so I'm really stuck no matter what I do. they would make the rest of my time there a living he'll if I 'let them down'. they just have no understanding that we have no support around us so if DS is sick, it doesn't matter if the joint is on fire, I can't be there. I'm expected to put my family last. honestly they just don't get it. Drs cert or not- they treat me like a flaky teenager who calls in sick all the time.
I don't know if I'll go back after mat leave. I'm tired of being forced to make decisions about whether I take care of myself and children or bow to their pressure.
Some workplaces really are horrid. Sorry you are going through this. You really can't go back to work, it's not safe for the other staff. Its a reportable disease, one that the federal govt considers serious enough that they track all incidences of it. Your boss may be at risk of legal action by other staff if he forced you back to work.
I know how hard it is though - my family are 3000km away so we have no support at all here. Illness is definitely the time when it strikes me how hard it is. Good luck
