My specific post is not day care related but connects to daycare in comment! Why are some people so ignorant (unknowing/stupid ) don't mean to be so blunt but there are no other words for it sometimes. We clearly are in the middle of flu season, cold and flu season. We have everything floating around from some sort of stomach bug that induces vomiting and the poops, to the full out influenza of fever chills, chest pain, cough, shortness of breath. WHY! if you or anyone else comes down with those illnesses would you consider putting your child in school or day care? it's just down right STUPID! aside from all the precautions we all take in keeping our homes germ free as possible to teaching kids proper hygiene such as hand washing and coughing into elbow etc. The best way to stay well is clearly to avoid those who are not well, and IF you are the carrier of an illness...you SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM OTHERS!!!!!!! GGGGRRRRR!
my post:
my mom planned a really fun evening tonight called "pie day friday" sounds cute..she is baking a couple pies and invited me and my siblings and our kids over for pie and games......well, just text my sister in law asking if they are going tonight? she says: "no, I'm sick" oh man, I feel bad for her told her to feel better, will miss her tonight. she sends another text saying, she was thinking of sending her kids over to Mom's for the day, assuming she wants a break and to get soeme rest cuz she's sick....so I ask her what type of sickness she has? she says, "not sure, my chest hurts, i have a fever, hot and cold chills, cough and can hardly talk." hhhmmmmm! sounds like influenza to me....and she plans to send her kids to my poor Mom's house for the day so she can get some rest, in turn possibly spread the illness to my older parents in the process, not to mention, she knew we were having the pie and game night which now?....unfortunatel y for my Mom, I will not be going in the hopes of keeping the illness from spreading to my family and on to the day care families as well. WHY! do people not keep the illness to themselves, these little epidemics would be a lot less of a deal if people would just , STAY AWAY from others when they are sick, rather than going into public, sending kids to school and daycare. Is it just me or do we as a nation seem to lack "common sense" anymore?
