My son got sick at his first day of preschool ...and I called parents to pick up kids. He seemed fine, never got sick again, so I had care again the next day. He hasnt eaten almost anything for 2 days now, so I feel like I need to take him to the dr or at least focus more on his drinking and healing from whatever this is. With 4 kids, there is no way for him to rest, and very little nurturing available from Mommy. Cancelled care again today. I am off on Fridays anywau, so we habe the weekend to get better. My concern is that I habe 2 other kids that have been exposed, and could fall ill at any time...including myself. If its strep or a cold, I ususally just isolate them and check on them periodically. With a pukey bug, I am cleaning, and trying to watch out for dehydration, so I usually cancel. But I am already getting a bit of flack from my parents about not being available.
I just dont know what else to do. I feel like my kids come first, but I also understand the hassle it is for my parents to make other arrangements. Am I out of line for cancelling when my kids are ill, or do I just need to do what I gotta do and hope the parents figure out how to deal?
