This is janitors and cashiers at McDonalds, there’s no “working from home” and i guarantee it’s the same in Europe. We’re not talking about IT jobs here dude.

Ok. So instead of working from home, they'd stay home from work. Norway has protected days so parents can stay home with sick children. Paid days.

McDonald's in Germany is unlikely to pay your wage when you stay at home to take care of your kids, but many other employers do.

Anyway, you still have a right to get Kinderkrankengeld for 10 days per year, paid by the national health insurance. Enjoy!

Kinderkrankengeld. Child-sickness money.

Seeing this new (to me) word gave me a little meta-joy this morning. Not for the topic at hand, but for the wonderful German word compounding.

Not quite as musical as my favorite three-part compound to date. The Thai word pronounced "malang-tao-tong" is roughly insect-turtle-gold and describes what we would call a ladybug in the US.
