I feel like I have been constantly ill or looking after a poorly child since before Christmas. It’s been tonsillitis, ear infections, colds, sick bug and now Covid. I’m eternally grateful for the job I have now, and I’ve worked from home through it all. But it does make me think, two years ago I was working in a warehouse and I would lose so much pay. I would be penalised by work for it. There are not enough protections in place for working parents, and I feel for people in that situation, as I know how hard it is.
