[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop fcking taking your sick kids out in public! Or at least put a GD make on them.

I was making a Target return and a mom came in with her sick kid. He was visibly and audibly sick. His face was flushed and sweaty and he was hacking all over the store up front. His coughing was so violent that he gagged a few times.

They were just doing normal shopping, too. He was picking out a Gingerbread village from the front of the store (and hacking all over them b/c he wasn't covering his mouth, either).

I'm almost at the point where I want to start recording and shaming these moms. This is like the 3rd or 4th time recently that I've been out and about and encountered an extremely ill kid.

What is sad is how unimportant the kids are to this parent if they'd drag them out sick.  Its one thing for medication, its another for regular shopping.[/quote]

We've made it so much worse for kids.  It is now acceptable for very sick kids to stay at school, ensuring healthy kids get it too.  It's madness.  Schools are having to call some parents multiple times to take their kids home.  The lack of sick leave is a massive issue, but this is not okay either.  [/quote]

You're misremembering the past.  It's always been common for kids to go to school with colds.  That didn't change with the pandemic.  If anything, the change is that some people are much more sensitive to seeing kids with cold-like symptoms than they were before the pandemic.  Things are starting to go more back to normal.[/quote]

+1 My child's school was very stern pre-pandemic that kids who had sniffles or a cough should be at school-only a fever or gastro symptoms should keep kids home.[/quote]
