[quote=Anonymous]OP, When you had kids, you signed up for a life of having to put their health before your job. Yes, we all call out when our kids are sick. And honestly, if my boss gets cranky about it, it doesn't bother me. My kids are more important than my boss, and more important than my job. I'm a teacher, so if I'm out they have to find a replacement for the day. It isn't easy for anyone, but it's the right thing to do. I often have parents send sick kids to school, and I usually have them sent home. I have seen many things circulate through the class because of mindless parents, and I have gotten sick myself many times because of it. The normal course of action would be to keep the feverish kid home for the day. If the fever persists or if you need to know if it's treatable or if you need to let it run it's course, take the kid to the doctor. At that point, you follow the doctors advice for treatment and return to school/camp. [/quote]
