1·29 Sept 2026·on Preschool calls at 11 to say she has a temperature. Who leaves work, and how do you decide?

for years it was me by default because my partner runs a business and 'couldn't leave' 🤷 i resented it more than i said. if i did it again i'd agree the rule before the first call, not during it

Give her the nap time, it's the only break she gets.
