Every time I have a DC parent blame daycare for their child's illness I have been responding with;
"Yes, daycare seems to be where all the kids pick up their illnesses but usually that's because so many parents bring their sick kids to daycare. Maybe if parents got smart enough to keep their sick kids home, there wouldn't be so many illnesses picked up from daycare."
They usually don't know how to respond to that.
Either because they are guilty of dumping their sick kid or because it's true. Daycare IS a breeding ground for illnesses.
