Does that make me nuttier than you? I think little bodies need time and care to get well again and that running around spreading germs is definitely not the way to go. Even now I'll keep my teen children at home if they have a bad cold. One day off school works like magic!Marysehttp://www.bluamaryllis.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2803711858607651915.post-80543455054659087222010-11-29T16:51:29.000+00:002010-11-29T16:51:29.000+00:00I know what you mean.

Amy comes home from school sometimes saying "such-a-body is full of a cold" and "such-a-body-else has been coughing all day" etc. This really annoys me. I understand that some parents go out to work and find it very difficult if their child needs to stay home because of illness, but at the end of the day, and I won't be very popular for saying this, if they don't want to take that responsibility, they shouldn't have children. And that goes for the men, too.<br><br>CJ xxCrystal Jigsawhttp://www.crystaljigsaw.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
