What would you do?
My three year old came home from daycare saying her belly hurt- she’s been constipated so I assumed it was that, but eventually she v*. I feel bad with how quickly I ran away instead of running to her but I already have this phobia and I have to work this weekend.
So now my mind is in overdrive. Obviously it would be easier to call out just in case I get sick. But I don’t get paid if I call out and I would have to find someone to cover for me. I work an hour away from home- so now I’m having all these thoughts of getting s* at work or on the drive.
I know the fear comes from feeling like we have no control- but this is the situation I was fearing the most. Someone brings it home on a Thursday and then my weekend (I work every weekend) is suddenly totally unknown. What would you do in this situation?
I’m tempted to get a hotel in the city work is in for the weekend but I would feel bad if my other daughter and/or husband get sick and he has to watch them both.
