'I was called into a meeting with the big boss': Medical worker with sick child is that their days off are 'suspicious'
Whether you have a kid or not, parents deserve your empathy. Just ask any parent, and they'll tell you---raising kids is hard, but it's worth it. When your children are little, they require attention basically 24/7. You are always on call, feeding them, soothing them, putting them down for naps, playing with them, and keeping them safe. Parents will also tell you that breaks are few and far between.
Since it is such a big responsibility to have kids, some employers look down their noses at parents. It's both unfair and illegal to discriminate against employees who are parents, but it happens all the time. After all, childless employees are often able to spend more time at the workplace, take on extracurricular projects, attend work events to network, or travel for business trips. Parents might not have the flexibility to do these things, and they can miss out on raises, bonuses, and promotions. It's a lot to juggle!
This person, u/Antique_Candidate465, wrote that their youngster keeps picking up the sniffles at their preschool. It's basically impossible to stop youngsters from spreading things around---and the OP's boss was very unsympathetic towards their employee.
