Call in sick because a family member is not feeling well?
My grandpa has been battling cancer for a long time and has been feeling poorly for a week now, and has been in the hospital ever since.
My mom is feeling very bad because of this and I don't want to leave her alone, which is why I called in sick today and told my employer exactly that.
Do you think it's bad if I call in sick again tomorrow simply because it's putting a strain on me mentally and I want to support my mom?

The question is:
Are you mentally so burdened that you can’t work? Yes, then the medical prescription is ready. But then I would advise you to go to the doctor and let you write down for psychological reasons, not that the understanding of the foreseeable and you have a problem because he thinks you were not really sick.
Could you work and don’t want it because your mother is more important to you? Then a holiday day would be the right choice if you no longer have unpaid vacation.
Just in the latter case, you have to consider how long this is going on. It’s worse for your grandpa, that’s a big shock for your mother (and you), but if it’s stupid, this condition will last weeks or months, some will die quite fast, unfortunately, with others it’s still forever. Think about ways you’ll handle it if it stays longer. The decision doesn’t have to fall immediately, but you should worry.
All the good for you and your family, serious illness near relatives or death is a very busy situation for many.
If it burdens you and you can’t work with it, I can understand. You can hardly really hide some things.
My employer would definitely have an understanding that would probably offer you home office as an alternative. Your honesty is good at me, I think it’s better than a sophisticated disease.
Much strength to you and your family.
Just calm me down that someone with empathy writes what 😅
My employer has also shown an understanding today that Homeoffice is unfortunately not going as I work in a kita..
Thank you very much.
Very much. I know this from my own experience.
I do not think it is appropriate. You’re not sick.
A diagnosis: Opa sick, mother sick = the whole family is sick, there is not.
But that’s what your employer needs to decide if he recognizes that
.
Basically, you could also take a vacation. That would be fair
That’s what I see.
Cancer? In any case.
But still talk to your employer
So you’re not sick. your sick message could not be recognized accordingly
My employer understands that. If you don’t have a mentally good thing, that’s what matters.
Talk to the employer. That’s totally understandable that’s taking you.

Will I do, thank you 🙏
But 🙂 do you know how many people are getting sick due to mental stress?
