I want the sick child to have my full attention and cuddles that I think are necessary when they don't feel good. That's harder to do when I'm needing to pay attention to the other child as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205328 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 13:01:13 +0000 lamariniere 2205328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! I like to keep germ exposure to a minimum for the one who isn't sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205277 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 12:13:22 +0000 HappyBaker 2205277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd still send the healthy one BUT I would not bring the sick kid to drop off. I'd have DH drop the healthy one off or vice versa. </p> <p>Yesterday a mom at our daycare brought her sick toddler to drop off her 3 year old, and the toddler puked all over the preschool breakfast table! No thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205265 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 12:04:44 +0000 matador84 2205265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely send the well one to school! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205243 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:41:31 +0000 Mamaof2 2205243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep - always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205242 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:41:14 +0000 Adira 2205242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The healthy kid ALWAYS goes to daycare! Why would I make it harder to care for the sick child by also having to care for the other one too?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205237 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:37:17 +0000 Anagram 2205237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Why would anyone WANT to keep their well child home with their sick child? No way....if my daycare were close, I would totally drop one LO and stay home with the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205236 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:36:29 +0000 kodybear 2205236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when LO1 is sick i keep LO2 at home. if LO2 was sick (which surprisingly hasn't happened yet at 10 months old!) i would still send LO1. I can still get work done if its just the younger one but definitely not if both are home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205235 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:36:24 +0000 MamaG 2205235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, yes! No way would I keep a healthy kid home with a sick one if I didn't have to. Not strange at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-one-lo-is-sick-do-you-still-take-the-other-to-daycarepreschool#post-2205233 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:34:54 +0000 autumnlove 2205233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO 2 has been sick for the last two days but we still took LO 1 to preschool. One of her teachers thought it was strange that we didn't keep her at home with LO 2. :P </p>
