[quote=Anonymous]Given you work from home, the idea that you have to take the day off so you can sit and talk with a 12 year old who has cold symptoms or allergies or a bit of a virus is ridiculous. It sounds like there is a real codependency here. Likely if you weren't giving her 100% undivided attention any day she is off, she wouldn't need to stay home so often. Likely your husband is aware of this unhealthy dynamic and not supportive of you taking days off to hand her tissues when she sniffles or to sit with her all day when there is no clear need to do so. A pre-teen does not need someone sitting beside them all day because they have a cold. You are martyring yourself for no reason, and this all sounds very unhealth. Your husband may also have assessed your daughter to be much healthier than the sick role you have given her that allows you this level of codependency. [/quote]
