Have to admit, I was one of those moms today. The ones who dope their kids up with motrin and drop them off. I have been feeling poorly the past few days and when the girls woke up coughing, I thought "uh oh". But no fevers and decent moods all around so I bundled them up and packed them off to school, dosing them with a spoonful of motrin each at the first red light I hit.
Judge if you must but I assure you me having the four hour break was very healthy for them. And some other mom sent their kid with a stomach virus last week which the teacher and everyone else but the girls caught. So a little cough is child's play right?
Right?
*crickets*
No fever? No snot? Good to go in my book.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was growing up we only stayed home from school if we had fever or were throwing up. If I was hacking up a lung, it did not matter. This seems to be something I have taken out of my mother's playbook. I always send my girls to school unless they have a fever or stomach virus.
ReplyDeleteRight.
