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.
