Dad picked up today and told me that he threw up ALLLLL DAY Sunday (after his birthday party Saturday) AND other DCG went to his party and ate like CRAP today and is already staying home tomorrow. 
I just do NOT understand the lying. She was within my policy to return him to care today (24 hours fever and symptom free) and aside from being a bit blah he was acting and participating just fine.
I would honestly let them both know, that you know, they brought the child, even after vomiting the dat before. I have never terminated on the spot, but I would have liked to. Tell them that you have a 24 hr.. rule, and it will not be tolerated again. I also added in my contract dishonesty will not be tolerated.
