I work for a IT company and had my discussions with my manager around inability to work from home to support kid (child care age) when they are not well.
The boss (owner of the company) replied, "Well, I don't want to plan your family stuff, but my wife sacrified her career to take care of kids".
Does he imply that he expects the same from his male employees? Or am I reading too much in between the lines?
inability
is not what you meant, probably.
