    I don't feel guilty to be honest. I know I'm really! sick if I take a day off and not pretending. I'm a workaholic and people who know me knows this and if I tell them that I won't be able to work that means I'm really sick and have no energy to work. So I don't feel guilty.

    I know me not being able to work will affect families but this is part of life. People do get sick like they do and I do get sick too.

    No, I don't. Now, I don't take a lot of sick days but I DO take days off for personal reasons - holidays, just want a day off etc. And I never feel guilty.

    How many parents do you have in care who routinely take a day off work and STILL bring their child to care?? My guess is that there isn't a single provider on this board who doesn't have at least two or three of these parents in their care.

    My point is, if the parents can take a PAID day off work, dump their child in care, and then go back to bed then why should we feel guilty taking a day off too??
