Why is it acceptable for many parents to dump their sick children on childminders and then refuse to collect them or acknowledge the illness?

Usually masked by calpol, they didn't think anything of the runny poo all weekend or it's because they're teething!

Rant over! Sorry!

I don't think its many parents ... I think it's a select few. I have written into my policies now that dropping off a child with a known illness, or failing to collect a sick child at the earliest opportunity will result in contract termination. I did let one dad off a slow collection when I saw how his wife laid into him Grin.
