Day Care "Gets the Wrap"!

[kidlove]

WHY? Do so many people "blame" the Day Care for the cause if illness in "their" home? I had a Mom tell me this morning, the reason her Husband just took his first "sick day" in seven years is because their daughter got him sick, and she got her first "day care illness". Isn't it possible they got sick from somewhere else? change of weather? grocery store? place of employment? etc. Why is it blamed on the day care and.....how do you know that? forensics?

Ewww. Ball pit. They always smell like pee.

kidlove, just as an FYI, a change in weather doesn't make people sick - viruses do. Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine.

You know....maybe I should start giving stupid responses to stupid comments..."oh yah, oops...dropped a peetrie (sp) dish of my newest germ I was studying on your kids face yesterday! SORRY.

but alpha, change in weather can lower immune system, in turn making a body more susceptible to contract a virus, as does teething, and allergies. Anytime the immune system is compromised, the person is more likely to become ill.

Where did you learn this? In Pathophysiology and Microbiology,we were taught that this is a myth, and that no studies have been done that support this.

pathyfizzy what? ha I'm not a book learner (only one book for me) more common sense here, no disrespect just the way I believe and learn, you and I see eye to eye sometimes but "clash" many others......not a scientific person just natural healing and "common know how".....think about it alpha, if you stand in the cold after your body has acclimated to the warm, your body is shocked, add to it the improper attire that sooooo many parents send their kids out in beginning of fall and their body is in even more shock, the body works so hard to keep a proper temp and fight the muscle reaction and "stress" that has been put on it, and say they don't wash their hands before afternoon snack 20 minutes later. The bodies otherwise "high" immune system has just become compromised by the "shock" it has gone through and is still trying to recover that....and BAM here comes a little bug that could normally be fought and.... sickness! So many people say, "winter clothing doesn't effect whether or not you become ill" I disagree, considering that analogy.

With all due respect, it's not common sense. It's science. There is no room for opinion. This is akin to me telling you that ghosts are real, and when you ask me to back up what I'm saying with some kind of proof, me telling you that it's just "common know how".

Anyway, yeah...parents blame us, and it's so satisfying to tell them that nobody here has been sick except their precious special snowflake.

Ya, I have to agree with Alpha on this. Change of weather doesn't lower immune systems and I may have to debate the teething and allergy thing too.

But yes, we are to blame for EVERYTHING. From illness to behavior problems to sleeping at night. It's always our fault.

Yeah...and who's kids are the ones bringing it INTO the daycare??? It just materialized in the cracks of the floor at daycare I suppose...the root of all illness.
