I will agree with you on this...there are people aren't going to do the "right" thing by their provider or by their children unless they are FORCED to. If the kid was sick, send them packing. No doubt, you'll end up losing the client, but those are the clients its OK to lose.
Its just freakin' sad and depressing how many parents care primarily for themselves at the expense of everyone else, including their kids. In order to be OK with daycare we need to resolve ourselves to that fact and decide in advance what we can and cannot deal with, and then stick to it.
right, her sick kid - but not too sick for daycare apparently even by the provider's standards. from the sound of it, she was sick and allowed a house full of sick children. it's true - parents will do what they can get away with - at the same time, "sick" can mean a runny nose and a cough whereas the parent may have been vomiting and/or unable to function - so of course she'd use daycare if it's ALLOWED.
