Stress of working outside the home

Some days it just doesn't pay to go to work.

It's been an awful Winter for illnesses. No one seems to be exempt. My child is sick again. He's been sick every other week since December. I have burned through all my sick and personal time and I'm using vacation time now. After the cost of daycare I am still making money. We need the money to pay bills. I'm constantly trying to figure out a way to make it cost effective to stay home. The numbers don't add up.

I know that it is most important to take care of my child, but I feel guilt for missing work.

I know exactly how you feel. I work from home but even when I have to stop to do something else I feel guilty. Glad to know I'm not the only one.

Thanks Sara, that helped me bunches. I'm back at work. I think we're dealing with a cold and 2 year molars right now.
