In this trying economy, it is important to hold on to the job you've got. Sometimes that means reminding everyone just how indispensible your work is. In the case of a stay-at-home parent, the most expedient way to get a little respect is to take ill and stop performing ALL of the million tiny tasks that you are normally responsible for. Your employer family will soon realize just how much they need you, when they find themselves starving and knee deep in their own filth. Unfortunately, once this little exercise is over you will find yourself with a mess to clean up. I advise keeping Mommy Sick Leave as brief as possible, so that you do not have to deal with this.
