Question of the day????

Why do parents send their kids to school sick?? My kids have been sick since the beginning of winter. Now I'm not saying that everyone else has gotten my kids sick but It just seems like everytime I go to Taylor's school 1/2 the kids I see are hacking and coughing, and sneezing and going to the nurses office to get their temps taken and sent back to class. I know some kids fake being sick but the ones that truly are sick still have to go to school. Is work that important that you can't stay home with your sick kids. I have 3 kids of my own and constantly have someone else's kids. Now one of the kids I watch was sick on Tuesday and I called her mom and ya know what she said...Just lay her down on the couch and she'll be fine. Poor thing was coughing so hard she was gagging,and telling me her stomach hurt. Now she is back today and her mom said she is fine just coughs every once in a while. I swear to you not 3 minutes later this poor little girl was coughing just like the other day. When we got home from dropping Michael off at pre-school she cried that she just wanted to go home and lay down in her own bed. Nose is poring, coughing, sneezing, do ya think she's sick??? Today I feel sick too. I am sneezing, my head is congested and starting a cough and her mom didn't even mind leaving her with me. That's because she knows her kid is already sick. Now my kids will get sick again and guess what I will be at the doctor paying $100 per child in co-pays and prescriptions because she had to go to work. Just aggravates me. Well thanks for letting me vent. Till next time...
