Your wife and oldest child are sick. Would you stay home or go to work?

In that situation, stay home. If your wife has a regular cold and doesn't feel good, that is one thing, but when you are puking, it's tough to get anything done. Simple shit like making food becomes almost impossible and you need someone.

I would be indecisive, and post a poll on dfwmustangs.

Im only indecisive when it comes to my health. Thats when I post a poll here.

Evil Jose is the correct answer. Always.

I would have had the maid or nanny stay with them while I went to work

No shit. I don't understand why his maid couldn't handle this for him.

Stay home. In fact this happened to me this week, except that my bosses are really cool and have no problem with us taking off for personal reasons as long as you don't take advantage of them.

I'd expect my work to stand by me in any decision I make. I wouldn't expect them to second guess my take on the situation, that is bullshit.

Bingo. It doesn't matter what you chose.

What matters is that your boss and coworkers are trying to make you feel guilty for doing what you think is right. I'd be pretty pissed about the situation myself, and be looking for my next job where they don't hassle people for taking care of their family.

This. And as someone else stated, it doesn't matter why you take off. If I'm missing work, it's because I need to. I don't miss work often. And I don't get hassled about anything.
