So I have this dcb 2.5 that rarely misses a day. Here when he's sick, when his parents are not working, the whole nine. Last week dad was on vaca and dcb was STILL here open to close everyday. Monday dad says he has one more day of vaca so he's keeping dcb home with him. I'm thinking yay, but still odd since dad already told me before that his vaca ended Friday. Then Tuesday dcb stays home because he has a bad diaper rash. Again, I'm thinking odd, dcb never misses a day now he missed 2 days in a row, knowing that I am opening late Thurs. and closing early Friday for my kids' school events, just highly unusual.
Dcb comes yesterday and today and yes, had a bad rash. Again I'm thinking odd, dcb rarely gets a diaper rash.
At pick up today, dcb runs to mom and I notice his shorts are soaked. I say oh no, dcb I forgot to change you after we just finished playing in the water (I just put his shorts on thinking his diaper was fine)
I'm thinking I'll do a quick diaper change since it's just water. Oh no, not water....diarrhea! Mom is standing right there. I start putting the pieces together real quick. Then I ask, so is this the cause of the bad rash? She stammers and starts talking about how the rash is weird because it's in the creases. I again ask "But is this the cause of the rash?? Has he had diarrhea?" She stammers and says well, over the weekend and a little yesterday...
I didn't know how to respond. I mean, yes keep him home if he has diarrhea, but why not tell me? Why lie and say dad has an extra day off? Why not just say he has diarrhea? Because of course I would have him stay home an extra 24 hours. Well it clearly isn't gone yet, so I guess I'll be having him stay home tomorrow. Right?
It was just one here, but it was a doozy! And poor dcb's rash!
