Since Last week dd (2.3 yrs) has been suffering with a bad cold that has also come with a gammy eye. On Saturday she started to get hotter and complaining of her ears hurting. Took her to doctors yesterday am and he says she has an ear infection and a bad throat. He has given er antibiotics, ear drops and calpol for her temperature. I phoned the childminder to say she wasn't well and wouldn't be going so I then phoned work to ask if I could have a couple of days holiday as there was no-pne to look after her (dh works on his own 10-10 Mon & Tues). The woman at work said "well you have no other option do you?" and it was the way she said it that made me feel guilty and as though she didn't believe me.
Should I feel guilty about not being in work at short notice due to child being ill?
