I'm a single mom of a toddler and my current job requires me to clock in and out (despite being salaried). I get so stressed and overwhelmed I don't know what to do. I was running late this morning and my son got so scared of my rushing around behavior he peed on the floor and was screaming and crying the whole time. My job wants me to be in the office from now on and I just don't see how that's even possible. It feels like this industry is not compatible with my life but I have to get paid. I feel so helpless.
