At times, you can't avoid being sick. The changing climate could be one of the causes. It might start being really sunny, and then rainy a few hours later. You may also get sick because of stress and fatigue from work. Your children might also get sick because they have weaker bodies. If you are to miss work for being sick, then you would lose a day's worth of salary. If your children would be absent in school, they'll miss valuable lessons and grade-changing exams. So as a parent, how would you resolve such a problem? The doctors excuse note should be able to help you with your problem.
