Man stressed and don’t know how to handle it. Poor daughter was sent home from daycare today, sick again. That sucks enough on its own man, but trying to balance that with work ia just milling me. Wife makes more and her job has shown growth that mine hasn’t, and she has a less flexible schedule so it only makes sense that I miss the days she needs care. But coupled with my own issues that have cropped up recently and being the one to take her to daycare in the AM, since January I’ve probably missed 15% of work time entirely and been either emotionally vacant or too tired to perform well. So here I am trying to get a promotion that probably won’t come because I’ve been underperforming and because of that I will continue to be the one who misses work during work time and is trying to get housework and job work done at 11pm all the fuxking time.

I seriously don’t know how people do it man. If I had known, we would have had a way stronger financial plan to allow one parent to stay home full time. Stressing about falling behind at work while stressing over trying to get your sick kid to fall asleep is stressing me out.
