A Mother's Stand: No More Sick Days Sacrifice 🛑
Our heroine is a mom caught in a tough spot. She's tired of her ex using her as the default caregiver when their child is sick, especially when it impacts her work and finances. This time, with her child down with the flu on her ex's birthday, she's refusing to step in. It's a bold move that's stirring up quite the debate. She's not a deadbeat parent, she argues, but a mom trying to balance her responsibilities. But is she right? Let's see what the world has to say about this... 🌐
