[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you for the commiseration!  I think because every illness is at least a week out and all of my friends do nannies or have kept their kids at home, it seems like a bigger deal than it is.  It just seems like we clear one and then get another one immediately but it's actually every 2 to 4 weeks.

There were also no illnesses at all last summer, which I thought was seasonal but was probably due more to everything else being locked down.  I was so naive!!!!  😆[/quote]

Another mom here whose kids were constantly sick during those years when they were in daycare. It was so difficult, so I feel your pain. I have no idea whether it is related or not, but once they started school, they were never sick. My DS who just graduated from high school had not missed a day of school since 4th grade - he just doesn't get sick for some reason. [/quote]

OP here.  Thank you.  It really makes me reconsider daycare sometimes but I don't see safer options during the pandemic.  Contrary to what a mommy-shaming PP posted a few posts up, I don't drug and drop off my kid or (intentionally) torture her with illness.  We love her school and she thrives there in all ways, germs aside.  It's just hard, and it's harder during a pandemic, and I had a false sense of security after last summer where we had months with nothing. [/quote]

[b]PP you responded to. There are benefits of having a nanny, and I thought long and hard about that too during those days of daycare illness.  One point I wanted to add is that even though it was tough with illness, my kids stayed the the same group in daycare for many years. Those kids are still friends to this day as high school students, even though they don't all go to the same school.  [/quote][/b]

Thank you, PP for your words of encouragement!  I hadn't even thought that far ahead, but that would be wonderful!![/quote]
