Sticky situation


Working parents often feel guilty leaving behind their sick child.

IT is never easy to deal with sick children, especially when you are a working parent. This is the dilemma that working parents face. It is actually tough to decide between staying home with a sick child or saving your leave days for other emergencies. Most working parents feel guilty sending their sick children to the day care centre, but sometimes they have to because they have no choice. Social media executive Diana Roslam, 28, finds herself in a fix each time she has to take her child Emma Arianna for her immunisation jabs or when the one-year-old falls ill. Her husband works out of town and although her extended family is ever supportive, the onus is on her to take care of her child at such times.
