Feeling so guilty to call in sick to work..

But I feel so exhausted thinking of the next day already while in bed.. I am a primary school teacher and I am dreading to go work. I feel bad for other teachers to cover my lessons and at the same time, i feel even worse thinking about my students missing out on lessons. But i just feel so exhausted and lazy thinking about having to put on a face and engage with others. I am currently 24 weeks now and FTM. Am I a bad person? What would you do if you were to be in my shoes?

No, u are not . Don't feel so guilty about what you are facing now . Perhaps , why not get some days of annual leave , so u could rest a lil more at home

Sadly for teachers we don't have such thing as Annual Leaves.. we only follow the school holiday schemes which only happens during school holidays... and other leaves only covers Child Care, Parent Care, Sitting for exam, Marriage, Compassionate :(
