[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 12182, member: 2322"] Linda, don't go to the other extreme and beat yourself up because you do care and sense their dispproval. I think that's normal, after all we do want to be accomodating because we are trying to do everything necessary to help our kids. But it would be nice if they would realize that you can only help your kids if you are in a position physically and emotionally to do. the old oxygen mask thing... and that for you to help your kids they need to help you be as strong as possible, which includes not making unreasonable demands on you, particularly when you are sick. No doubt they have gotten so used to you being superhero that they are having trouble adjusting to a wee bit of reality. Like adults do get sick. Sorry that they are not a tad bit more sensitive.
