Sibling threw up - healthy one attends?

Don't the parents have to pay for the spot even though they are on leave? I always consider it a chance for the Mom to get some house work done or a much needed nap while the older sibling gets a little social stimuli from other kids his or her age. I can't really blame the parent for using the spot I require they pay for.

I can afford (and need the break) for both families to go part time for the year. So I've made an arrangment with them. I charge both $80 a week every week of the year regardless or sick, vacation, etc. For $80 a week they can choose to bring their child for 2 days a week if they wish. All days above this are the regular rate. But the one has chosen to still send him full time. And that's ok with me!

I've been very lucky this year that my schedule has just fallen into place. I had a rough go when I started but it's smooth sailing now.
