Hey jec I wasn't trying to judge because I do the same thing cause I feel bad for the parents also but then here I am with a cough that I've had since march and can't get rid of it ..... I dont feel sick it's just a nagging cough that goes on and on and on and the parents say "oh still got that cough eh?" um yea I wonder why ? All these kids come with coughs and congestions and sneezing and snot filled noses and I let them thru my door .... So it's my own fault ..... And I really don't think it has anything to do with being friendly with the parents because in reality we probably wouldn't have taken the family on if we disliked the parents so it's natural to chit chat a bit at the door. I actually find it easier to deny a child with a parent that I am friendlier with then the one that just comes in and gets the child and leaves. I'm always a bit Leary of those. So I'm sure we have all let a child in for the day that we shouldn't have and then fumed about it all day...... Here's hoping no one else gets what that child has
