[quote=Anonymous]You don't need to martyr yourself. A, you won't recover as quickly. B, it will breed long-term resentment. C, people will expect you to martyr yourself in the future. The kids don't *need* baths/activities/3-course meals when you're sick. I would prioritize showing up to work (whatever that means for you), just so you don't slow-kill your career with your health and your kids' health issues - because I'm sure you'll be the one taking time off when your kids are sick, and not Dad, hmm? Anything that's not work, and the essential needs of You and Little People, goes out of the window. [/quote]
