Trust me, I totally get it's your worst family and it would be nice to have both kids stay home and give ya a break, I really get that, but if one child was up alot during the night for whatever reason and the mom is beat and the other child is healthy, why not bring him/her? Maybe the mom needs to rest because she was up all night? Or did I not read it right? Again, I don't mean to be snarky, but just trying to understand the situation. If it's because you think the one child is sick and the other one may come down with it too, I mean all of the kids could come down with something from anywhere.

Originally posted by Fiddlesticks View PostFrom what I understood, the mother did not initially say the child staying home was up all night coughing, just that the child was up late and she was staying home anyway…. Had the mother said child one was ill, I am sure OP would not have responded as she did. I posted that I had one child stay home "just because" while his sibling came to daycare, and the next morning I sent him home with a fever. He obviously stayed home the first day because he was sick, not "just because" but the parents don't want to follow the 24 hour rule. So, instead he is out again today because he was sick here yesterday. The mother in the original post was trying to hide the fact that the child was ill, so instead she made it look like she was just going to spend the day with her well child, why not spend the day with both of your well children? Parents just need to be honest.

I have had parents keep one child home for some special time, especially the older child when the sibling is an infant. I have never had a parent keep the youngest child home for special time and not the older sibling (us poor youngest children!) But it has always been planned---"FYI: I am keeping *dck* home on Friday so we can *do something fun*" I have never had a parent show up at the door with just one child because that morning they decided to spend quality time with the other child. The other child has always been ill on those occasions, and to my dcps credit, they are honest about that 90% of the time.

Originally posted by mommyneedsadayoff View PostI have this policy for contagious illnesses. My kids always get whatever the other one gets. Right now, we are on day four of a stomach bug. Started with me, went to my daughter, then to my son. My husband is the only one to not get...so far
Although, up late is generally a sign my kid is getting sick. He didn't sleep well the night before last. Hyper and wanted to play all night. Sure enough, he started running a fever last night (and still up at 2 a.m. wanting to play). Luckily, DH didn't have class or clinicals today.

Now if the provider allows unpaid days off then YES the tired scenario would be common.
