"Tis the season

[5 Little Monkeys]

That's a good idea BS.....altho, if a parent wants to lie they will do it over the phone or in person. I do feel for some parents who don't get sick time or get grief from their bosses but unfortunately that isn't my issue. I have all the children to look after and I try to do my best. Illness is going to happen and there isn't much anyone can do about it so no point in pointing fingers or getting mad...it's life unfortunately! It is annoying though when there seems to be a pattern and it's always so and so that starts it. Oh well.....lol

I have often told parents that they need to see a doctor. I have had a few who passed it off as nothing but I knew that something was wrong and most likely antibiotics were needed. I don't think there has ever been a time that I've asked them to see a doctor and it turned out to be nothing. They think it's just a cold but when all 4 kids are sick here with the same symptoms and one or more is on meds, most likely the others will need it too!
