Today, my son begged me to take him to the doctor for the weeping bloody rash on his penis so I had to take an unpaid day off for his appointment. The doctor laughed us out the door after it turned out to be a good old-fashioned friction burn. FML

So your son was concerned something was wrong with his downstairs and sensibly asked you to take him to the drs only for it to turn out not to be serious Stop being a moody 'unpaid day off' whinger and be proud your son isn't worried about getting these kinds of issues looked at

Would you rather it be something serious that could have been possibly untreatable? I say YDI because you're son is ok.

When you have kids, you have to take them to things like the doctor. Deal with it.

Your son's perspective: I'm a burden, I can't do anything right, I can't rely on my parent to comfort me when I'm terrified, my parent's feelings of embarrassment are more important than my feelings, my parent gets angry at me when I need something so maybe I just won't ask anymore. Could you imagine how humiliated and hurt your son would feel if he found out that you shared personal information about him to a shitload of strangers on the internet because you wanted some external validation?!! Be grateful that your son knows to seek medical attention when there's a problem.

If he literally laughed you out the door, time for a new doctor.

The fact you are conplaining about taking an unpaid day off, at least your son has come to you with such a problem. You should be proud/happy of that and kids come before work imo
