Ladies how do you handle sick days with little ones? Husband and I both work at Big 4s and our little one is 8 months old and in daycare. She recently caught a stomach bug so no daycare for a while.

We use backup care from bright horizons. They have an option to send a nanny at home. That’s very helpful to us.

Same. It’s a good benefit but if you don’t already have an account it might be hard to use it immediately. My husband and I take turns staying home when it’s more than one day. Good luck!

Sorry to hear that. Take a few days off or find a nanny.

If your child is in daycare, the sick days will keep coming for about a year and then it will start to get better as their immunity improves. We also used Bright Horizons and it was a game changer. However, I would try to work from home when you get an in-home nanny. Some are great, others not so much. I had one that read Harry Potter to my son all day. She was hoarse by the time she went home. Another kept falling asleep.

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?
