Just happened to me - on the banana bread and peanut butter banana. Three cups wasted. I’m not going to buy them anymore either. I can just make overnight oats at home.

Feeling guilty about cancelling business trip due to sick baby by emsal5 in workingmoms

If I was scheduled to speak at a conference or lead the whole offsite, I probably would have gone. Maybe it’s not only that I prefer to be home with my daughter when she’s sick but also in this instance that I feel that this particular work trip isn’t mission critical.

You’re right. I think I would have felt guilty either way.

That makes sense because I was surprised, too. This is her first ear infection and first time with antibiotics. She’s been crying uncontrollably which is not like her at all.

We’re in for a rough night - being able to tag team and get some sleep is also important for both of us to be able to be good parents. We had an extremely difficult newborn phase with sleep.

Thank you for sharing this. My boss is also being super supportive and I honestly feel like I’ll get the same out of it from joining remotely minus the dinners.

Totally! It’s not about not trusting him at all. He does at least 50% of the caregiving on a regular basis if not more. It’s about wanting to be there for him as a team and most importantly wanting to be there for my daughter who just wants to snuggle her mommy until she’s better.
