The dreaded mom guilt

A little back story: I am the only parent in my department, I am a single parent to a 4 year old and while I have a great support system, they're not always able to help me out at the drop of a hat. My ex partners career doesn't allow him the same flexibility that mine does and so the bulk of child rearing has fallen on me.I have been having issues with my company's HR department for the last few months, as my daughter has been ill or the day care was closed without notice. I am allowed 25 days of PTO and 6 days of sick time, I am of the mindset that if I absolutely need a day, I will request one or if I do not have time to request, I will call in. HR does not like this, my department does not like this.I guess I am not sure how to move forward. I had a very brief meeting with my supervisor where it was mentioned that HR has it 'out' for me, our director is constantly clocking me and asking me when I am scheduled to start/end my day amongst other questions and I am starting to feel singled out. I sat down for a very uncomfortable conversation with the HR director where she basically compared her life as a parent 20 years ago to mine and told me, very bluntly, that I have it easy as i have friends and family who are able to pitch in.In short, I don't know how to move forward, short of quitting. I don't know if what I am dealing with could be considered harassment or even discrimination of some sort. All I know is that my child and our collective health and sanity do come first. via /r/Parenting http://bit.ly/2DqU2D1
