[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for acknowledging that your 5yo has to stay home from school and not being one of the a**hole parents who gives a dose of Motrin in the morning and hopes no one realizes what’s really going on. [/quote] It’s really crappy when parents do this BUT it’s understandable when they have jobs where they’d actually be fired if they didn’t come in, etc. It’s the larger lack of social safety net that’s a problem in those cases, really. Not everyone has a nanny, a spouse, a salaried job or “sick leave.”[/quote] This. There is a kid in my DD’s class who always seems to be sick but his mom is a single mom who speaks very little English. I’m guessing when she sends him to school sick, it is that or lose her job. This is a problem in our country and I can’t blame that mom for doing what she has no choice but to do. [/quote]
