Ridiculous or Right

Ha ha DH just brought our nearly toddler into the room where I'm nebbing to have me wipe the boogies from her nose. She has a cold, likely caught at the local children's Y. We were at toddler gym class today and I noticed someone brought her toddler to class even though he was coughing and looked sick. I had to steer us away from him the whole time. *Ugh*

I think it's best not do it because parents will drop their kids off even if they aren't feeling well. Small children need a lot of stimulation so it's very hard to keep them at home unless they are really sick.

As far as who is worse with germs, I'm not sure.

However, my Mom works for a daycare and is swamped with sick kids right now. She was just complaining today how her room had to send 3 kids home yesterday and 2 today. The one Mom sent her kid with a fever of 103F!!! They turned her away with the kid at the door.

You wouldn't believe how ignorant parents can be...

I was in a similar position this year (parents are assigned a Sunday school slot every 5-6 weeks to teach their child's class), and I wrote them a letter explaining my circumstances, and letting them know that I would not be able to help. I also quit working with that age children (2-5 years) when I had a daycare class while attending college and was constantly coming down with something. I also changed my major in college from Early Childhood Education for the same reason.

IMHO, I'd let someone else do it. To a healthy person, one cold is just feeling icky for a week, but for me, it's a month of oral and inhaled antibiotics (if I'm lucky and manage to avoid IVs), and feeling worn out and sick for at least that long, while hoping I don't catch something else right after (especially in the cold and flu season). I manage to catch enough of them while I'm doing everything I can to avoid them! Just my 2 cents, of course. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">

Personally, I stay away from roomfulls of toddlers, but I do okay with one-on-one with them (or two-on-one as the case is with my friend's twins.) I'm more afraid of elementary school kids who don't wash their hands. Babies and toddlers usually have an adult wiping their faces and hands for them on a regular basis.
