[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a serious question. As parents it is wrong to give a child Tylenol who has a fever and try to go somewhere or it's wrong to send your child to school when coughing, etc.. I get it and always keep my own children home BUT pre-kids in my twenties/thirties I can't count how many times I went to work all day with a fever(medicated), terrible cough(medicated myself) etc.... I always had this mentality to just tough through it unless it was really bad. Is this how most operate? [/quote]

I have toughed out all manner of colds, bronchitis and sinus infections but I don’t go in if I have a fever, vomiting, flu, strep or pink eye. I can easily work remotely and had enough sense as a young single person that my coworkers don’t want to get sick. Now that I am a parent, I am more intentional about illness and I follow daycare rules for myself as well as the kids, stay home over 100.3, 24hr no puking or fever, however many days on Abx the dr recommends.
