lol yes. Society shouldn’t be set up this way but unfortunately it is. I’d much rather stay home with muy kids and relax. I’d lose my job if I stayed home for all my kids runny noses.

Since you have a good job, you can afford to pay someone when you cannot take care of your kids. Or, your spouse can stay home.

Whew, yes, it's a good thing everyone with jobs has unlimited money

Money or no money, childcare for unwell children is not your schools problem. That is a responsibility you take on when you have kids.

Have you and your spouse been home with a toddler for at least one week of every month since summer 2021 due to either exposures/quarantines or every virus that laid low during covid precautions raring back? In the worst month, THREE weeks? Have you taken every inch of leave and flexibility your work would give you to the point that your boss's reaction out loud, when a new cold spread around the entire day care classroom last week, was "Again?!" I don't really want to hear that I'm not taking care of my kids because I can't wait more than a week for the postnasal drip cough to clear up before sending them back. This has been a BAD year and I don't think "parents not having enough individual responsibility" is the root issue here. Maybe we could set up a STRUCTURE where parents don't have to make bad choices.

Welcome to being a parent.

NP. You shouldn’t have had a kid if you were too stupid to know that colds spread around at daycare and school. It’s part of the package.

WeLcOmE tO bEiNg A pArEnT.

What a stupid way to try to rationalize being irresponsible.

I almost envy what a sheltered life you must have lead, to be so utterly divorced from the realities of being a working parent. Almost.

PP here. I was home without childcare for my then 1.5yo the first six months of the pandemic while I worked remotely. Said child (who is now 4) has also been home for three days this week with a bad cold he picked up at school and gave to our baby. Yes, it’s not fun. He should be in school learning and socializing but instead I kept him home. His teachers don’t need to be exposed to contagious kids or caring for under the weather ones.

The so called structure you say should be in place should be flexibility in the workplace. No one except 1:1 caregivers should be responsible for caring for your sick kids. This is why having young kids is hard.

Do you think everyone can work from home?

No, but again, that isn’t your schools problem. It’s yours.

Exactly. You want to work in person in a less flexible job, you need to figure that out.

Ahh yes all these people who “want” to work in person to make minimum wage and have zero flexibility. I didn’t realize that was their preferred way to make money rather than sitting on their couch getting paid to scroll DCUM.

Where did anyone say that they want to work in person at minimum wage? Bold it.

For your reading pleasure: “You want to work in person in a less flexible job”.

Who exactly do you think this entitled a-hole is taking about?

Regardless of who it’s talking about- minimum wage pancake flippers at IHOP, or a neurosurgeon- and I believe it’s talking about everyone, their sick kids are not the schools problem!

It’s all connected dimwit. It’s absolutely the schools problem when students and staff come to school sick. Instead of shaming the adults maybe we should look at why this is happening. Willing to bet it’s worse now because parents blew so much leave keeping healthy, quarantined kids home. I get it, everyone should have known 14-day quarantines for a novel virus was a real possibility before having kids. We’ll plan better next time, promise!

No, people like you *make* it the schools problem *because* you send your kids to school sick. You choosing to send your unwell child to school should not be their problem, but because you’re selfish and for some odd reason seem to feel entitled to send your child to school sick, you’ve made it so.

It’s not the schools fault you have an inflexible job. You or your spouse should find something more flexible. If you’re a single parent, you need more backup. You were being facetious, but you actually should plan better next time. That’s the territory of having kids. Your school shouldn’t pick up your slack

Sending a kid with a fever, covid, flu, strep, HFM, yeah that’s a dick move.

Runny nose or mild cough? Post nasal drip? They can go to school.

No, I live in the world, so I was well aware when I had children that they would occasionally bringing colds home from preschool, and that life would not need to grind to a halt when that happened. If you can’t handle other kids going to school with a runny nose, homeschool your kids.

DP. If you lived in the real world and were well aware as you claim, you would know that sometimes you have to stay home with a sick child.

I’ll keep a kid home for actual illness, not a runny nose. Again, I’m glad you live the kind of life where you don’t have a job or any other responsibilities to consider. Sounds nice!

Maybe those responsibilities are more important to you than your children.

No, I live in the world, so I was well aware when I had children that they would occasionally bringing colds home from preschool, and that life would not need to grind to a halt when that happened. If you can’t handle other kids going to school with a runny nose, homeschool your kids.

If you can’t handle having to taking care of your sick child, you shouldn’t have any.
Look up parenting.

I’ll keep a kid home for actual illness, not a runny nose. Again, I’m glad you live the kind of life where you don’t have a job or any other responsibilities to consider. Sounds nice!

Dp- everyone has responsibilities. Having other responsibilities doesn’t mean you don’t take care of your children as they need.

lol yes. Society shouldn’t be set up this way but unfortunately it is. I’d much rather stay home with muy kids and relax. I’d lose my job if I stayed home for all my kids runny noses.

Since you have a good job, you can afford to pay someone when you cannot take care of your kids. Or, your spouse can stay home.

Whew, yes, it's a good thing everyone with jobs has unlimited money

Money or no money, childcare for unwell children is not your schools problem. That is a responsibility you take on when you have kids.

Have you and your spouse been home with a toddler for at least one week of every month since summer 2021 due to either exposures/quarantines or every virus that laid low during covid precautions raring back? In the worst month, THREE weeks? Have you taken every inch of leave and flexibility your work would give you to the point that your boss's reaction out loud, when a new cold spread around the entire day care classroom last week, was "Again?!" I don't really want to hear that I'm not taking care of my kids because I can't wait more than a week for the postnasal drip cough to clear up before sending them back. This has been a BAD year and I don't think "parents not having enough individual responsibility" is the root issue here. Maybe we could set up a STRUCTURE where parents don't have to make bad choices.

Welcome to being a parent.

NP. You shouldn’t have had a kid if you were too stupid to know that colds spread around at daycare and school. It’s part of the package.

What a stupid way to try to rationalize being irresponsible.

Maybe those responsibilities are more important to you than your children.

Keeping a roof over our heads and food on the table are pretty important to me, yeah. I know you don’t understand how that whole working for money thingy works.
