Just Another Day
Yesterday I got a message from my youngest sons school telling me that they needed a parent to pick him up because he had gotten hurt. I was at work when they called so I called the school to see what was going on, the nurse tells me that my son fell during art station and hit his nose on the bookcase. The principal wasn't comfortable having him stay just in case it was broke or he had a head injury so they needed someone to pick him up. I explain that I can't leave work but I would see if his grandfather (my bf's dad) could get him, she says she called him and the grandmother but everyone said they couldn't. I called his father multiple times no answer so I call the school again to make sure my son is ok and to see if he was still there. I called his dad again, no answer. I tell my bosses what's going on, talk to their boss to let him know and the ladies in HR. They all tell me that I if I leave before 1 I lose my job but they understand it's my child and they would want to leave if it was there child. I weighed all my options, turned my badge in and went to get my son from school. I was livid when I got home. He's father wanted to say that I was stupid for leaving, I should've stayed at work and let our son stay at school until school let out. He didn't want to see that if he had answered the phone when I called and stepped up and acted like a father to get our son I wouldn't have had to leave work. I would still have a job to go to on Mon. Granted, all I have to do if reapply as a temp and I can go back to work in 2 weeks. He refuses to take me to the temp agency but when I tell him to get a job then he wants to get upset. Like if we're going to be together you have to step up to and do something not just me. I can't be the only one doing something but in his eyes I don't contribute in any way and that pisses me off. I'm ranting so I know my thoughts are all over the place but like I don't think I was in the wrong for being there for my son. Yea it sucks I had to lose my job but I'm glad my son is ok.
