Should I feel guilt for taking time off work? Using my PTO

My brothers and dad told me I need to be careful what choices I’m making and my job ALWAYS GOES FIRST. I can’t just take off like that and it was a HUGE risk I took. I mean they do have a point but my boss said she was okay with it and the teacher said she was okay with too and I asked if they’re going to be okay and they said they will be okay thanks for checking in. I’m on my way to a three day weekend trip and we left this morning and now I’m already feeling a little guilty thanks to my dad and brothers! I mean it’s PTO and it’s PAID TIME OFF. I mean what’s the point of having it if we don’t use it. From now on I’m only going to use it for important things. I know my family is going to give me that same lecture if I told them.
I mean it’s already been approved and done so I’m on my way right now. The other staff doesn’t know why I didn’t come in to work and it’s none of their business.
Even my best friend said, “Girl that was a HUGE risk you took. You only worked there for a month and already taking time off. That’s stupid. You won’t get paid and do you really think they meant that they’re really OK with it?”
I told her it’s PAID TIME OFF. She said it doesn’t matter and I shouldn’t of took that day off in the first place I should feel guilty about it and my dad and brothers are right. I’m not gonna make it into a habit or anything.

I mean they’re right. I mean what were you thinking? You won’t get paid and you’re going to lose your job like that! Your job is something you’re not supposed to play around with and you took a really huge risk of taking off. I mean they may be OK with it but it’s still a huge risk you took. your best friend has a point to when it was a stupid thing you did. I mean you do need stuff you need to get right? It doesn’t even matter if you get PTO. You still have to do your job and if you get fired that’s your fault.
