I am a single mum with a four yr old Ds who suffers with recurrent bouts of tonsilitus and asthma (unpredictable and always aggressive with any cold he gets..... which seems to be everyone up for grabs at the moment). I have no local support from family although I do have some good friends who will help out if he is not to poorly. I have so far this year used all my annual leave up looking after Ds when sick and have another three months to go until my next lot comes into effect. What can I do about any time I am going to need over the next three months....is it a case of taking unpaid leave? Also what can I do to stop feeling so bad about 1)Letting my work colleagus down all the time (I sence they are getting a bit fed up now! and 2) How do I stop feeling so bad because I am probably putting Ds back into school to soon because I am worried about before mentioned work colleagus gossiping about me!!!
