Working while sick

I hope you dont have the flu....could spread it to all your kids and families! I always close when I am sick. just precaution.

I'm the same as Momof4. I always work sick unless vomiting or my fever's too high to watch the kids safely. I had to take a day off 2 wks ago with a wicked case of Strep Throat that had me laid up for 4 days. The sick day was followed by 2 free play and movie days. I never, ever get sick like that and call in sick even less, so clients were really great about it. Really, I need to be almost comatose to call in. Of course I don't want to pass it along to others, but chances are very, very, very high that I got it from the kidlets to begin with, so I don't sweat it too much. Parents can make their own decisions in that regard, in my opinion....without me losing part of a much needed paycheque.
