I went 20 years without a sick day from work or taking off to watch a sick kid. My mother raised 4 kids and I recall she took off two hours once and was max at me. My wife’s mom had three kids and never took any time off.

Kids today need to toughen up. Heck at 5 I already had a job. I think at 4 I was shaving already. [/quote]

Daycares and schools are also more strict than they were pre-COVID-19 when it comes to run of the mill stuff with kids. Kids get sent home for the smallest things that used to be commonplace such as runny noses, headaches, sore throats, etc. My 9 year old figured this out last year and used it to stay home from school. When the school called me aout her having over 30 days of absences, I asked them what they wanted me to do when it's their policy to send a child home if they go to the nurse and complain about a headache or sore throat and have me come pick her up.
