I am happy that I can love my wife and my children dearly. However, the flipside of this is whenever any of them show any signs of getting sick I get extremely worried. I simply do not want anything bad to happen to them, and am worried to go to a doctor too late. My gut instinct is to go to the emergency room for every small issue, but I consciousely understand that this is not a logical response.
Do any of you have suggestions on how I can figure out what an appropriate response to different types of sickness symptoms would be?
That’s why I put my suggestion in the form of a question. Not every adult is a grown up.
The situation reminds me of an old gag. The first kid’s first nose bleed means a trip to the ER. The third kid’s second nose bleed is met with “Get off the good rug!”
