i feel bad for people who grew up with parents like this, very neglectful. my parents were quick to make me drs appointments when i showed signs of illness & tended to me at home as well.

You have no idea how validating your comment is. Seriously I appreciate you. It’s hard not to feel like what OP described is the norm.

update: i ended up having strep throat and im happy i didnt end up going to work as i work with kids. however that didn’t stop my father for shaming me for not going to work (before he knew it was strep)

no problem! idk who you are but i hope you’re able to unlearn your parents bs. you live with your body, you know better than them how you feel physically & mentally when you’re okay vs when you’re sick.
