[quote=Anonymous]I was going to post a similar question...

I don't think I'd ever refuse to work if my charge was sick, but I wish my bosses would tell me ahead of time!

What happens is that I come in on Monday, mom hands me the baby and says "He's been sick all weekend" or "He's been throwing up since yesterday".

Or, even worse, "We (baby, mom, dad) have all been so sick all weekend."

In the first situation--I expect to take care of a sick baby. Mom & dad each own a business, work very hard, and rarely take days off. But I would like to be prepared--bring extra clothes, have a plan to keep baby entertained if he's extra fussy or we can't go on our usual outings.

In the second situation, I feel like she's saying "I don't give a shit if you get sick"!

Again, I can't imagine turning down a day of work but last year after they got sick (dad was even supposed to have the baby on a Saturday but asked me to come in because he didn't feel he could handle the crying), I got sick for a week and then my son got sick for 2 weeks.

I would just like a little consideration...is that too much to ask? lol[/quote]
