no

Stuffed up and unusually fussy, I'd definitely keep home. What I struggle with is that gray area where they are acting totally normal and aren't clearly congested but do seem a little bit stuffed up. It was a nightmare this spring when she'd wake up and sneeze a couple times. During non-Covid, I'd take her temperature to make sure there was no fever, give her some allergy meds, and unless it got worse between wake up and time to leave for school, I'd send her. But Covid makes that equation feel very stressful because I definitely do not want to send a sick kid to school. And I also don't want to keep a kid home for absolutely no reason.

I wish there was a clear rule that we could all agree on. Like "no fever, no personality change, no runny nose" and you send them or something. I don't know. I hate making those judgment calls.

Colds are constantly mutating and changing. There is virtually no immunity to colds or other common viruses. Even things like HFM a kid can get again.

That doesn’t at all diminish the need or benefit of group care for children!

So you don't have the study. Got it.

Please stop with the inane “got it”. Look it up if you’re interested.

Stop deluding yourself that people care to read your anonymous take on this when they have specifically asked for study that YOU REFERENCED.

“Got it” is tiresome. Trumpers use it constantly.
I read the study here. I’m so sorry I couldn’t link it for you. I will never, ever mention it again. Daycare kids have super immunity and are never sick in elementary school. My son and his daycare friends were clearly defective for getting sick so often.

So you read a long time ago a thread on DCUM describing a study that says daycare kids get sick just as often and felt compelled to come on here and proclaim the idea that daycare kids get less sick later in life is proven false? There are other studies showing the opposite, the evidence is mixed, and your claim is false.

NP here. For God’s sake, let it go, PP. My kids were as sick as frequently in elementary school as kids who didn’t go to daycare!

That's beside the point that PP made a false claim and is digging in.

Yes, we should kill her. Happy now?

You sound just like her lol

And you sound insane! Ask Jeff if I’m a sockpuppet.

Have fun when your kid starts school! You can't insulate your kid forever

You know that “daycare kids have stronger immune systems by kindergarten” is a myth, right? Scientifically proven to be false. Daycare kids get sick as often as stay-at-home kids once elementary school starts.

Certainly true with my son.

Links? You are judgy and annoying. Bye.

How the hell am I judgy? My son went to daycare. And just look up the immunity question. It was a huge topic here and elsewhere about two years ago.

If you are the same PP that used the term "low class" you are absolutely judging.

The "certainly true with my son" reads judgy without knowing the son was in daycare

??? How could I have written “certainly true with my son” if I hadn’t sent him to daycare?! My son had as many illnesses in school as kids who weren’t in daycare.

And no, I am not the one who called you low-class.

Sorry, PP, I thought you were the same poster that used the term "low class" and that perfect parent's child does*not* go to daycare. Not that it matters, but I'm sorry for calling you judgy and annoying- I'm projecting a bit and super sensitive about daycare illnesses because DD keeps getting them even with pandemic precautions and I'm like WHAT AM I EVEN DOING ANYMORE.

Same.

And do not get me started with the absolute idiocy of conflating your children's experience with empirical research. Come on people, we're supposed to be one of the most educated places in the country. Don't be dumb.

Runny nose, but acting fine? Yes.

Runny nose and acting out of sorts? No.

How my kids act (mopey, run down etc) tells me way more than the congestion. We also have grass allergies in our house and that's raging right now.
