Try to figure out if I'm the "difficult" mom

I'd not be returning to such an unprofessional setting myself and be using his nasty text against him/ them as evidence.

I'd also be asking him for a criminal record check that covers vulnerable persons as children are, since he likes to think he can order you all a doctors note! More valid to get his criminal record check anyway. Doctors note I'd tell him to take a hike, you don't have to do that, innoculation record is good enough. And a thermometer on them taking in any children daily if they feel one is not well enough to accept as someone mentioned already. Who does he think he is to make such demands anyway?

Colds are normal in children, they get a lot more than us, and if a child has a cold it's a good thing not a bad thing, I can say this as a nurse, they are building up their immunity and it's an important process. Worse is to try and treat it as it's a virus and viruses can't be cured you just have to ride it out. Flu is different, aches, pains and a fever, it's more than a runny nose obviously. So if he's ranting over a cold then tell him to grow up, get better educated and to provide that criminal record check of course. I'd be telling him that if it were me before swiftly departing to find a more professional day care for my child.
