Yesterday DCB stayed home sick (shocking, since this mom rarely keeps him home)
He came today and she said "He was just fine yesterday, didn't seem to be feeling bad at all"
I carried him from the front door to the playroom, set him down and felt wet on my arm. He had already had a completely liquid BM blow out (in the car I assume) Changed him, cleaned him up, cleaned myself up, and notified mom that if he were to have another that she would be asked to pick up.
DCB had another liquid BM, but very little and right before AM nap, so I didn't say anything about it. I put him in bed and he spit up/threw up all over himself and his blanket (it was mostly milk, some chuncks, but he is 16months)
He barely slept, and had another blow out BM. I contacted mom at 12:30 and said he needed to be picked up. At 1pm she contacts back saying she is trying to figure something out, but "someone" will be there to pick him up soon. About 10 minutes later she says Grandma is coming to pick up and will be here by 2pm. At 1:52pm, she contacts again asking for my address.... :| and tells me grandma is on her way but does not know her check out code.
Grandma finally gets here about 2:20. Almost 2 hours after I originally said he needed picked up! I explained what the day has been like (SIX liquid diapers, 3 of which were explosive. Two vomit/spit ups. Poop/vomit on the kid, me and whatever he was around at the time. A very raw bum because there was no cream in his bag. Lots of burping and pulling/rubbing both his ears) and Grandma said "yeah I noticed that/he was doing that yesterday" (remember mom said he was great yesterday with no problems...)
Anyway... all of THAT to ask, how long do you allow for sick pick up, and what do you do if they exceed that time? I figured an hour is plenty, but when your kid is literally leaking everywhere I don't really want them in my house for even an hour lol
I really want to add to my contract and say "if your child comes sick and gets me sick, I will close and you will pay double for those days" lol
"And you will be responsible to compensate all other parents having to find alternate care... unless you get them sick too, then you can pay for the doctor 😀"
"P.S. It's not teething or allergies"
