Why not? It's YOUR child and YOUR responsibility to manage his physical, mental and emotional condition.
Including times where he is excluded from his child care.
If your provider excluded for something like that it would be YOUR responsibility to find back up care rather than just assume that since you can't take that much time off work or keep your child home that the provider should simply be the one to take care of it.
Providers manage MULTIPLE kids/families as well as their own.
YOUR individual situation has NO bearing on that.
Your individual situation is your issue to manage.
I'm tired of reading posts from parents about how little PTO time they have left or how difficult it is that they have to manage or deal with their child's issues.
It's not MY child so its not MY problem.
