    In my working experience it is the ultimate get out of work excuse. Few questions/resistance offered from managers who then make the other workers who don’t have kids cover shifts, work late, do the crap jobs that nobody wants to do, etc

        Has he ever tried setting boundaries around that? Is he getting compensated more for coming in on a weekend?

            Can he say no? Another way to view this is that because y’all don’t have kids he has an opportunity to make more money than all his coworkers who have kids, assuming he’s choosing to do this work

      I guess I’ve never had a job or been a manager who questioned someone for calling out sick. Doesn’t matter why someone is calling out sick unless it becomes a pattern
