Often, before DH goes to work in the morning, he kisses DD (3) goodbye, saying 'Will you look after Mummy?' This really bothers me, as I want her never to feel that she has an obligation to care for her parents.
I have, numerous times, told DH how I feel about this and asked him to stop. He then becomes offended, says I am over-reacting/misunderstanding, that he won't alter the way he speaks to his daughter, and then keeps on doing it! Am I over-reacting? Or is he the one who is being unreasonable?
For context, I have suffered depression since DD's birth, and have been very concerned about how my illness might affect her, now and in the future.
