I like to think about it from your(current)employers point of view.
On a scale of 1 - 10, how likely is it that the company you currently work for would give you the benefit of the doubt in a dispute? Are they a company that will be angry if you are 5 minutes late to work, but expect you to stay late after work? Etc.
What if you made a fairly big mistake? Will the company take the time to do a moral audit, as you are doing now? I somehow doubt it.
Also, personally, I think it is unhealthy to attach additional obligations to your job. Your current obligations are to do your job and your duties as assigned - you are not paid to worry about how the company is going to fare if you were to be fired/laid-off/quit/injured. That is for management to worry about.
If these are critical projects, and you are the only person able to complete them - again this isn't your problem and should not be your concern. This would be a management issue with a lack of planning.
You gotta do you, buddy. Especially with a little one at home. Don't get caught up in "doing right by your company". Do right by your child.
But maybe this is why I'm not some C-level exec, because I'm generally not going to put into the company more than I can take out. I don't owe my company more then what they compensate me for - and I sure as hell know they wont be doing a moral audit if they decide to lay me off. Why should I do a moral audit if I want to move on?
