It was rude of them. They are nice people so I don't know if they just weren't thinking or if they just don't care. Either way, I shouldn't have taken her and turned them away. Problem is, I HATE when it comes to things like that. I really need to toughen up because this is not the first time in the year I've been doing this that a parent has brought a sick child and I took them anyways. It's just hard to say when a child should stay home. Right now the little girl has a cold. If all kids stayed at home for every cold then they'd be at home all winter. So that's where I have a problem with it...knowing when a cold is bad enough that they should stay home. She is able to keep up with the others so it doesn't really seem to be a really bad cold. I wish I could just have the back bone I need to do this job! I've gotten better about not letting parents walk all over me but I know I should be a bit stricter for some things.
