What do people with normal jobs do when both parents are working and their kids are too sick to go to childcare?

I have the one in person event I need to attend tomorrow and the way the kids are going that probably won't happen. Are you supposed to take a day off work every time? Normal people can't do that

This right here is one of the major reasons we left Melbourne. We were on our own there, without any family support.

To answer the question: One of us usually takes personal (carers) leave. Sometimes that isn't possible, so we ask grandparents or my sister to help us out (if safe/not contagious). What often happens is that one of us is sick also, having caught whatever pestilence the child(ren) introduced to the house anyway.

Don't send the kids to daycare if they're sick. You'll just be lumping this hassle on other families. I was always resentful of parents who did that.

Hi Nath. We're missing a tram. Could you please help? It bothers me more than it should. Thanks

Good morning (It's still Morning in Perth so Nyer)!

Baku is right - the tram is in fact still there. What's happening here is your phone thinks it has the image cached, and so isn't loading it from the web server - instead displaying a local version of it. Only there's a problem with that local copy of the image. If you visit https://aussie.zone/c/melbourne in your browser you'll see that the tram is there.

What app do you have there? I thought I had all the main Android apps (Boost, Connect, Jerboa, Voyager and Sync), but none of them seem to match this screenshot. Whichever it is, you'll want to find a setting to clear the local cache. You can clear the cache from Android settings, but that will probably clear your account and make you log in again.

Bit drastic, but I suppose I could upload a new icon. Your phone would recognise that it doesn't have the new one in its cache and would load it. That would affect everyone though. Then again, maybe its time to upgrade from a W class to a Z class tram? ๐Ÿ˜€

I have the Aussie Zone app

When I go into Chrome, it's also missing and I believe I'm not the only one. Also Perth's is missing too.

It looks like there might be something wrong with Pictrs. I've refreshed the icon, but it isn't making a new thumbnail. I'm afraid I won't be able to look closer at this until tonight when I get home.

It was for free so I took it.
