sick son...stay home?

I recently lost my job so I am not getting any benefits lately...unemployment hasn't kicked in...I am subbing right now per diem...but my 8 yr old got sick and I stayed home with him today because his dad works. I took him to doc and tests came back negative. I am supposed to work tomorrow..doesn't count against me if I just cancel it before midnight tonight.

I don't trust dad because he wont check his temperature and doesnt' always give him his medicine...my son's fever is getting higher tonight..100.9 with medicine..soo..should I just miss work? we are so broke right now... I may have to turn of my cable..but my mom and my boyfriend have said that they would help me with bills until I get a job... ugh...soo what do I do? I barely have money for gas in the car...but I don't trust his dad to watch him.

Update:

his dad is not smart when it comes to him being sick..he picked our son up from school on Monday..with a fever of 100.9 and took him to ...Home Depot..then to Auto Zone...when I got him an hour later after work his fever was 101.9 and NO ONE had given him any medicine. He has a GF that lives with him..she didn't even check.

    I'm so sorry that's your situation. If your sons fever is that high I reccomend staying with him if his father is not reliable. After all it doesn't count against you.
