Yeah, but yeah. They kind of just said, you know, do what you can do not have it happen, but if it you know if it has to happen, you know, what can I do about it? It was kind of they were saying | 6cd
|
so, they were understanding? | 1irq
|
I didn't feel like they were that understanding, but I also didn't feel like they were gonna take any punitive action against me, right, right then and there or anything. | 0id
|
Did you anticipate worst reaction than you experienced? | 1irq
|
Yeah, I did. And I also anticipated that they would maybe have more of a procedure for how to handle it and they didn't have a procedure which also made me feel a little worried. I can't imagine I'm the first mom that has had to deal with this. And they kind of talked like It's never happened before. So I kind of felt anxious, because I thought, am I really the first mom that's had to take a lot of time off because their child sick. They didn't give me the impression that they had sort of a protocol or like they had dealt with this before. | 0id
|
As a sort of like it took them by surprise? | 4crq
|
Yeah, or they just didn't have a plan for what to do about it. | 6cd
|
And they were investing a lot of energy in thinking about that? | 1irq
|
No, no, I guess not. | 0id
|
And when was the second how long? | 1irq
|
Just this past week, this week. | 0id
|
So how has this week been back at work? | 1irq
|
Oh, it's been very busy because I'm trying to catch up and get everything handled. But that's the way it always, always is. So nobody has said anything to me or anything about the absences | 0id
|
other than that first and other ? | 3gc
|
Yeah. | 7ack
|
And there's been no more absences? | 1irq
|
Nope | 0id
|
Okay, earlier you mentioned being a good mom How a good mom look lik? | 1irq
|
Umm somebody who takes care of their child and puts them makes them a priority, like their first priority. And, you know, does the things that they need to do to make sure their child is taken care of. | 0id
|
And you're a little worried through this was last experience you're talking about that you didn't rise level of good mom? | 1irq
|
Yeah, I felt like I wasn't being a good mom because I was preoccupied and making work a bit of a bigger priority than taking care of my kid. | 0id
|
Okay, so so good, mom's more about More than just rather, your behavior, right, what you're doing is about what you're also thinking. So you took care of your child. | 3gc
|
Yeah. | 7ack
|
Yeah. | 8op
|
What's what's that look like? | 1irq
|
Um, well, somebody that, you know, takes care of all of their workload and handles all of the tasks that they have each day and someone that's consistent and reliable, and, you know, puts effort into what they're doing and gets their job done. Really, you know, reliably. | 0id
|
Well, I missed a lot for maternity leave. | 0id
|
So that's understandable but excluding that? | 1irq
|
I've missed out since the school year started, I've missed if you include the three. I've missed nine days. But some of those were half days. They add up to nine days. | 0id
|
Okay, total nine? | 4crq
|
Yeah. | 0id
|
And you're allowed? | 1irq
|
10 per school year, it's only January and I'm already at nine. | 0id
|
I can see that will cause worry what happens if you go over the 10 | 3gc
|
I don't know. I mean, I think that they would dock my pay for the for those for it. If I was there a day and I didn't have any more sick days left. They would just dock my pay for that day. But outside of that, I don't know what else would happen. | 0id
|
Is anybody that you work with that you could ask that question to HR department? | 5yq
|
Yeah, I guess I could contact the HR department. | 8op
|
I'm just thinking because you're just one day away, from being at that number might be prudent just to talk with them and see. See, you know what to expect, right? So this whole thing though, the missing days caused you anxiety, frustration. | 3gc
|
Yeah, a little bit | 7ack
|
about any type of feeling down at all? | 1irq
|
A little bit sometimes when I start feeling like I'm a bad mom. | 0id
|
probably sort of the guilt and the feelings of not being able to be the best mom. | 0id
|
How would you rate yourself right now as a mother if say 10 was the best mother you could imagine? Right? And one was the absolute worst? | 1irq
|
I'm probably like an eight. | 0id
|
Okay. That's pretty good, right? | 3gc
|
Yeah. | 7ack
|
What would be the cutoff to where? What's the cutoff score? And that will scale I just gave it for good mother and not good mother. | 1irq
|
I guess like halfway like, | 0id
|
so five is good enough. | 1irq
|
Yeah, feel like It's not good enough for me. | 0id
|
Okay. Okay | 7ack
|
I wouldn't be okay with that. | 3gc
|
So if you look at somebody else, another person in similar situation of five would be acceptable. Right? | 1irq
|
Probably. Yeah. | 0id
|
But how about for you specifically? | 1irq
|
Yeah, that's not | 0id
|
that's not gonna cut it? | 1irq
|
Yeah | 0id
|
Well, we've cut it. | 3gc
|
I don't know. At least a seven. | 0id
|
and you're an eight | 4crq
|
Yeah | 6cd
|
sure? | 4crq
|
No | 6cd
|
not sure. Okay. So you're close to the border. Like you're close to the border on you're your value system of being not a good mother. | 3gc
|
Yes, not as good a mother as I want to be | 3gc
|
Okay. Now, what do you want to be? | 1irq
|
Yeah, I want to be like a eight or higher, | 0id
|
eight or higher where you are in s you said? | 4crq
|
Yeah | 6cd
|
okay. So you want to be the parent sounds like | 3gc
|
No, there's some leeway, I guess you have to allow for that. | 0id
|
In some ways, it's useful because it keeps me keeps me on track if that makes sense. It keeps me pushing to keep doing the best I can. | 0id
|
Okay, So it does have a useful side does have an unusual side less than useful? | 1irq
|
Well, yeah, I guess it does in the sense that if I become too worried about it, then I'm wasting energy on worry instead of being able to put that energy into being good mom. | 0id
|
Yeah. So I guess one things I'm getting at here is has to worry has the anxiety or it paid off for you? | 1irq
|
Probably not. | 0id
|
Why not? So you're suffering with it? | 1irq
|
Yeah | 0id
|
it might make you a little more vigilant but mostly most, it's just causing suffering. | 3gc
|
Yeah. | 7ack
|
So at the heart of it, you're not a bad mom. Right? You're in good mom category. You're a good employee. Right. But your, your way of dying yourself, Your perception is that you're not doing a great job at either one. | 3gc
|
Exactly. | 7ack
|
And that's the thinking I'm getting that it's not, you know, it's not necessarily irrational. I'm thinking it's just less than useful. It's dysfunctional. | 3gc
|
Yeah, I can see that. | 3gc
|
Yeah. Um, no, it was really the night But, um, well, you know, I went as far as to think, am I gonna get fired? You know, I had to kind of think about | 0id
|
so your thought was, am I gonna get fired? | 5yq
|
Yeah. | 8op
|
And then what was the feeling that that came right after that? | 1irq
|
panic and worry Oh, yeah, | 0id
|
maybe some anxiety? | 4crq
|
some anxiety? Yeah. | 6cd
|
Were you able to do anything to address that panic or your anxiety at that time? Like, did you tell yourself anything? Or did you take some action? | 1irq
|
Oh, I did tell myself that I didn't go over yet. And, you know, hopefully I won't, you know, there's still a chance that I'm not going to go over on my days and hopefully won't go so far as to fire me, you know, | 0id
|
and how did you feel after you consciously had that thought? | 1irq
|
a little bit better, but the still kept hovering around. Yeah | 0id
|
the whole time. Probably all the way till Monday, right when you returned to work? | 1irq
|
Yeah. Yeah. Like I wanted to call somebody at work and talk to them about it and make sure it was okay. But you know, it was the weekend, so I couldn't do any of those things. I just had to wait it out. Yeah. | 0id
|
So we've talked before about self talk, you might remember me saying the phrase adaptive response, right? So it's the kind of pre packaged response we have two thoughts that we've identified is not so useful. | 3gc
|
Right. | 7ack
