Let's work from home when the kids are sick, thank you great company that I am allowed to slave away for you while taking care of my sick kid! It isn't even a US company it seems.
Edit: guess I should have posted to unpopularopinions instead!
I just wanted to add I cut off the photo of the person on purpose. She is posting that with her sick child in her lap and that photo has been taken by some other person, not a selfie. If you are not feeling that the content of the post is bad, you hopefully still agree that presenting your sick child in an almost professionally looking photo to the world for LinkedIn clout is not great.
Sick kids are low maintenance. You've either been a lucky parent or you have no kids.
It depends. If it's the usual stuff they mostly sleep and bitch about how bored they are, sure, but sometimes it's not. No reason to circumscribe the conversation to "how sick kids usually get".
Yup, as a parent of 3, I can totally confirm this. If our kids are legitimately sick, they either read or watch TV. It sucks way more at night if they need to get up every few hours for medicine or something, but I'm not going to be working at that time, so it's irrelevant.
I enjoy what I do for work. I like being with my kids. Sometimes I work while snuggling a sick kid while they watch TV or something. It works. I just let my team know I'll be a little distracted, and they're pleasantly surprised at how responsive I am.
