Which sounds better?

Question

I need a day to just really deep clean my house & honestly have time to myself. I have three kids 6 months, 2 years, and 7 years. Would it be bad to call out of work to do that? Should I just tell my boss I need a mental health day or tell her I’m sick? I don’t want her to be mad, but I also have plenty of time off & never call out.

Answer

If you have the time then use it.  You don’t have to tell your boss anything other than I don’t feel well and I won’t be coming in today.

Answer

If deep cleaning will help you with your mental health then say it’s for that. I’ve done it in the past because it’s affected my mindset not having the spare time in order to do it. It’s hard work being a Mum, working and looking after a house!

Answer

I would definitely take a day off to do that! I am so stressed when my house is a wreck and feel much better when it’s in order. Go for it!

Answer

Do you not get scheduled days off

Answer

You dont even have to give a reason, your boss isnt allowed to ask! At least not in my area. Though if you tell her you are sick, you may be required to have a doctors note to go back, so I suggest going with mental health day if you choose to give a reason. Your PTO is YOUR PTO, so definitely use it!

Answer

Just say you need a mental health day and. All out! That can also help with your mental health cleaning out your house

Answer

I started doing this. I wasn’t using all my pto anyways. With two kids in daycare we are not going on vacation anytime soon. I take me days about every other month. Not to clean, I know I’m lucky I wfh and on lunch breaks I do my cleaning with that hour. A task each day. But my last me day I did a salt cave solo. It was glorious

Answer

I do that all the time. Probably once every 3-6 months.
