I have to agree with the others. This mom has run out of time off. If she loses her job over her daughter having a cold, she not only can't pay you, she can't pay her other bills.

If you can't handle the snotty noses, daycare may not be the right thing for you.

Personally, I can't handle snotty noses, it grosses me out to the point that I choke. I just suck it up, close my eyes and take care of it.

I try not to exclude kids as much as possible. I call for pick up for vomiting, diarrhea, and a fever over 101*. We just had pink eye, 2 out of 8 kids got it, plus me. I notified all of my parents and let them know it was up to them to come or not. All the parents showed up with kids in tow. One of my parents has it now, but we had it 2 weeks ago, and his child didn't get it. I'm hoping that his daughter doesn't get it and bring it back.
