Sick Sibling

[Secondtimearound]

I don't get that either !! Usually with siblings if one gets it the other(s) usually do too ! I would think they would keep him home as well . I have siblings and have been amazed when one shows up but the space is paid for so I don't say anything !!
I usually send a light text like , " oh oh heads up , so and so isn't eating !! "
Doesn't always amount to anything though lol !! I always feel like the dcp are thinking I just want a day off !!!

I think this is unfair for providers to think this (they are lazy or want the day off). Siblings are welcome here if the other is sick. I have two kids myself and there are often times one will get sick and not the other so there is no reason the other shouldn't come. Often parents will "work from home" if one kid is sick, easier to do if one is laying on the couch sick but not so much if the "well" child is running around or needs lot's of supervision. Plus, why not offer the sick child some much needed TLC and 1:1 time?
