Weekly /r/Nanny Discussion - Monday Messes

Feeling super guilty today....

I had to take the day off due to a bad pinched nerve in my hip and back that has been worsening over time. I was hoping it would feel better throughout the day but I’m still in a lot of pain. I made an appt with my doctor tomorrow @ 1 and let my NF know. They had been really understanding about me taking the day off and I shared with them I was feeling anxious about taking another day off (due to inconveniencing them) & MB said “yeah, it makes it hard for us to plan around also”.

I know it’s completely inconvenient and feel terrible about it and because this isn’t like a contagious thing I get its extra frustrating that I’m not able to really work but it just made me feel way more guilty about taking more time off. I’ve only taken one other sick day this year and that was in January. & they always tell me how helpful and great of a nanny I am so I don’t feel my performance is an issue it’s just the sick day thing that is a problem right now.

Ugh just needed to vent and hopefully this pain can get relieved so I can get back to work. (Also anxious about coming back because I don’t want them to resent me).

Happy Monday :(
