[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my now teenagers were toddlers and were sick with strep they picked up from daycare, I had a phone conversation with my grandmother and she said that her kids were never sick like my kids seem to be, they either recovered right away or died. She didn't say that to be extreme, she had six kids, one of whom died of pneumonia at 18 months old. [/quote] That really is the truth of it. Kids who were sickly or vulnerable (e.g. preemies, asthmatics, B twins) just didn’t live long. Even if the care was available, most people couldn’t afford it. It was cheaper to just let some kids die and hope your next one was more sturdy. [/quote]
