And you place value on it, and recognize it benefits the company as well. I think your company should join the IFREI Club Canada.

My own kids have developed to the point my immunity system has caught up (as they are now 12 and 17), but I am watching two co-workers each of whom have 4 kids of school-age variety and they have experienced so many illnesses, CDC Atlanta has a representative on standby to visit. In my office we have set up telework and offer flex time for sick children (and mommies and daddies too). This "benefit" comes back to the employer 3 fold. Good on you Sal, love reading your "stuff".

Unfortunately at my workplace and in general, I still see the mom taking all the time off to be home to nurse the kids. Never the dad. It's like society still sees the mom as the main person responsible for the kids. I agree with you about the mom and dad alternating sick days to stay home with the kids.
