2 times this year. I've been with this family 18 months. 3 times total. 2 days with an awful stomach virus in January and then over a year ago with suspected strep.

Haven't asked off in about 10 months.

Okay, she is dead wrong and has no business asking.

She would be dead wrong no matter how much time OP had taken off!

Its actually illegal for her to ask you.
There are plenty of reasons you may need a sick day but not actually have to go to the doctors. If you had a stomach bug with diarrhea and vomiting you should stay home but not need to go to the doctor for example.
