Sending sick children back home

[4Sparkles]

I usually ask parents to come pick up if vomitting and diarhea is presenting. For fever as well if high and with coughing and cold symptoms. You know, once a child whose mom told me child would be on holidays at a certain time one summer popped up at my door the Monday morning she was to be off, it so happened that I had to close because me, my 2 kids (5 and 3) at the time, and 2 daycare kids all caught the chicken pox!! Apparently we were all exposed about the same time and the physical evidence appeared the same time. Well when I realize what I had the Sunday I called my daycare clients except this parent who was to be on holiday . And that is why they turned up too because the child had chicken pox and l learnt this later that stepdad hadnt had it so as a precaution they were taking child to daycare. I know the contagious period passes when the spots appear but child had lots and was crying too when I opened my door. All this mom did when i told her I am close for the week , was to laugh. And lied saying she did not tell me child was going on holidays as of the Monday when I told her she said they were going on holdiays that is why i didnot call her .

Now if I was not sick as well I think I would have had to turn child away because of the itching and crying .
