That’s not what op is saying.

Op has anxiety—she can’t cope when her kid is sick because she is so immensely worried about a bug that will pass. It’s not that she thinks you love your kid less because you aren’t sobbing over your feverish child.

Good lord! You are a grown woman. Act your age!


One on every thread. Congrats to you - most everyone else has been kind.

How many time have you all had NORO??


NP but having had noro rip through our house twice now I cower in fear at the first signs of fever or stomach stuff.

Yes, this is me right now, so sending solidarity! Not sure what DS has but he has a high fever and is super lethargic. I get so antsy when he’s sick, and worry it’s going to hit me too. Just one of the extra fun parts of parenthood

I feel sad but not sad enough to take care of my own child when they were sick at night. The paid help could deal with that. Beauty sleep is more important.


You actually me sfe your nanny take care of your sick kid in her off hours. You are a horrible person and mother.
