I attend silent worship at a Friends (Quaker) Meeting. My baby decided this was an awesome time to test how I'd react if she bit me while nursing. Yep, during silent worship. And then...she did it another three times. Hahaha
Tell me your stories of impeccable kid timing!

My kid apparently always gets sick the Friday of memorial day weekend. Last year we missed my in laws giant block party because first she got sick, and then I got sick from being puked all over.
This year Friday afternoon she spiked a fever. We were already missing the party due to my procedure on Tuesday but I now have the added worry of getting her bug
Eta I realize she has no control over getting sick it's just impeccable timing

We planned our first visit to the Bronx Zoo today, but my almost 2 year old was throwing up all night. Poor guy.

My older LO is occasionally in the room during work calls because she can draw or play quietly. But twice now she has loudly shouted, so everyone can hear, āI have to POOP!!!ā Hahahahaha

@Alba4: That reminds me of when I was in Grade 1, the night before a week vacation in Kelowna BC (for which my grandparents had flown in), I had blood in my urine and had to be hospitalized for a kidney infection. Yay vacation! I do have lovely quasi-memories of my grandpa playing UNO with me in the hospital though. He let me use his lucky hat

My DD got a gastro bug that had her out of daycare for a full week and waking up 4x a night as I was needing to put in TONS of overtime to launch a new website that had been in the works for months. 
About once a month we are headed out the door (a little late as usual) to daycare and one of my kids pops a squat and fills their diaper

DD always saves her really bad toilet accidents for the minute I get home from work. I'll walk in, and the very first thing I do is hose her down and wash the clothes. It really sets the tone for the evening 
I guess it's revenge for DS doing the same thing to DH when he was a baby!

The kidsā doctor is really good about seeing them the same day for a sick visit if I call in the morning. But that doesnāt help much when the kids predictably get sick on Friday nights.

Thereās a nasty stomach bug going around town. My 2 year old has had it for several days and now my poor 4.5 year old just woke up with bad diarrhea. Her very last day of preschool is tomorrow and there is no way she will be better by then to go. We are both so sad sheās going to miss her last day of school.

@Foodnerd81: :(. Im sorry.
My almost 3yo is potty training. We started over the 3 day weekend so this is day 6. Heās doing really well and hasnāt had an accident at daycare yet. Yesterday I took him with me to pick up DD from preschool. He starts there Monday. He loves it there and stopped to use the potty. Ten minutes later we were still hanging out and he had a tiny pee accident where three drops got on the floor. Preschool teacher kind of lost it and said he needs to be in diapers on Monday. So one poorly timed pee is costing us potty training and a $100/month non-potty trained fee.

@MamaBear87: Anytime I have a day off or a massage/pedicure scheduled, one of my kids gets sick. It is unreal how many times I've had to cancel because of them getting sick. I know they can't help it...just seriously impeccable timing!
DS1 also has some great timing where we're in a store and at the furthest possible point from the bathroom, and announces that he has to go. It doesn't matter if I have a cart full of groceries or my hands full of clothes/products. Always the furthest point of the store.

@Corduroy: Um, that is some serious BS. I'd be tempted to fight the school on that, especially if he is otherwise doing great!

@MrsBucky: I wrote to the director this morning apologizing for the accident and explaining his progress. I told the director that DS will be diaper free until Monday and asked the criteria I should use to determine if he should be in underwear or diapers when he starts on Monday.

@Corduroy: Sounds like exactly what I would have done, too. I hope it works out in your favor! I'm still giving the teacher the side eye from over here though

Mine got sent home on the last day of preschool for vomiting...awesome way to start summer vacation!

@Eminthevalley: Iām so sorry. My daughter missed her last day of preschool today and the moving up ceremony because of the stomach bug. Sheās finally on the mend.

We just started three weeks of non refundable private swim lessons and DD just had crazy loose stool. Canāt swim for two weeks after diarrhea, right? Ugh.

I sympathize with all of you. We missed the next to last day of school because she complained of feeling sick. But she was fine one hour later, so it was just emotional, I think. I was glad we didnāt miss the last day.
wonderful cherry / 21504 posts
@Corduroy: what? Two weeks after diarrhea? I never heard of that before (although Iām not saying you are wrong). I was kind of thinking at least 24 hours after the last loose stool plus I always wait for the first regular solid poop. That totally sucks either way.

@Foodnerd81: Thats what the sign posted on our neighborhood pool says as well as the swim school's contract. Maybe it's a state regulation.

My 4.5 year old seemed ok yesterday but has upset stomach again today and is probably going to miss her gymnastics show tonight. Seriously, this is like the worst week for this. And I already paid $45 for the stupid show leotard too.

@Iced Tea: Not to threadjack, but can you tell me more about your Quaker beliefs and practices? It's so fascinating to me.
