[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t know she is contagious. When I can either be judgy or kind, I pick kind. You should try it![/quote]

NO.  I don't care if kid is contagious or not.  If they are coughing and screaming, anybody with a functioning brain would keep their brats at home![/quote]

How do you know that they were coughing and screaming before they left home? 
My cousin's son can go from well to sick in no time. We have had to cancel several visits within a couple of hours because the kid had a runny nose and started coughing the moorning of the day we are planning to visit.

If you lack empathy, why should others have any for you and your healthy kids?

OMG because the onus is on the person who is affecting others with their behavior to have some consideration for those who are directly affected by those actions.

A healthy kid does not inconvenience anyone at all. A sick kid can very much affect those who may catch something from them.

How can you possibly say that we lack empathy just because we don’t appreciate being exposed to your contagious child? Empathy is the exact reason why we get so annoyed at the other parent because if we were sick then our empathy would cause us to stay home out of consideration for others. When you are treated with less respect than you routinely give to others then it is only natural to be annoyed. If you were empathetic though this would not need to be explained.

Empathy is not the reason why you get annoyed. Entitlement is. You think you are entitled to empathy from others.

However you don't have any for others. When you have empathy for others, you try to put yourself in their shoes. You don't always assume the worst about people other than yourself. If you wouldn't take your sick kid to a restaurant, why would you assume someone you don't even know would? Has your kid never developed a cough or runny nose while you were out somewhere? Do you immediately leave and go home?

It's not always about you and your healthy kid or sick kid. Think about others sometime.[/quote]
