My son had an accident and had to go into hospital twice in two weeks for operations. i was upset and worried, but still tried to go into work to make my time up, and i still have time to make up now. Its upsetting me now, and I feel shaky, and now I have made a mistake at work that has implications on me.
I just wondered if anyone else has been in this position, and had just signed themselves off so as not to be worrying about two things?
my contract says i can emergency time off unpaid. But i didnt want to do that, because of money issues. Where does the matter change from being about his health to mine? In hindsight i should have just not gone into work, but thats easy to say later!

if your child was in hospital would you sign yourself off from work?
