Why do people love to bring their sick kids out in public? This is something I will never understand. Yes, I realize that sometimes kids get sick at the most inconvenient times like right as school is starting but that is not an excuse to keep them there.
Today as I dropped my son off at preschool, another mother was carrying her daughter into my son's classroom. She stopped to chat with the woman I was talking to and mentioned her daughter was not feeling well today but that she was pretty sure it was just allergies causing her to be sick. Fine, I'm thinking she probably just has a runny nose and cough, two ailments that don't require a kid to be quarantined at home. Right as she was walking away though, the little girl happened to mention how she just threw up all over another kid! The mom, who happens to be a teacher at the school, just sort of laughed it off and mentioned she was sure it was just the allergies again.
If your kid just threw up all over another kid at school, it's time to go home. I was stunned into silence as I watched her walk into my son's class to drop off her sick daughter.
