[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 234168, member: 1722"] Rotsne, My little girl will try to take care of me when I'm sick (I have a pretty low level digestive disorder that will make me feel wretched from time to time). I won't allow her to physically care for me except in ways that can help her learn to be kind and considerate to others. It wouldn't be fair to expect an almost eight year old to be my caregiver when parents are supposed to be taking care of children. My guess is that your daughter is getting sick because she's feeling a lot of stress about your wife (very normal) but feels her well-being is her responsibility (not normal). Alternatively, she may have figured out a way to make herself sick (making herself vomit or heating up the thermometer for instance) so as to stay near her mother. I'm going to move this thread to the General forum because the Watercooler is for non-difficult child topics. I hope you can get some meaningful advice on how you can help your daughter. [/QUOTE]
