Ideal Vs Reality
Claudia and her daughter Ava currently reside in the city of Lakeland, Florida. Claudia garnered a reputation as a protective parent in the two months following the birth of her daughter Ava. Claudia rarely ventured away from her daughter’s side, and it would be preferable if they were never separated again. However, the reality is that she also has responsibilities at her place of employment. Claudia received a phone call from the office, inviting her to join them for a business meeting. Leaving Ava at home would have been necessary, but she was apprehensive about leaving her.

A Mother’s Dilemma
Following the completion of the call, Claudia immediately began listing her options. It came down to a choice between missing out on a significant work opportunity or staying at home and caring for her daughter. Claudia had already taken maternity leave, as well as a few sick days, to care for Ava in the months preceding her arrival at the hospital. She was well aware that she was expected to attend the meeting. What she didn’t realize was that her decision would have far-reaching consequences.
