A friend of DDs was on FB to me yesterday afternoon saying his DD (in my DDs class at school) was being sick and having diarrhoea.
I said that it was a real shame and that it would mean she was missing more school (she has missed a few days here and there recently).
I think, now, he maybe didn't respond to it as such. I said that the rules were 48hrs after the last sickness bout so it woudl be Wednesday until she was in then.
Yet, there they are bold as brass this morning!
Came home here to see that the mother has written on facebook, to another mother that her DD was still being sick when she got home from work.
Yet, there she is In School!!
The mother had said that her DD wanted to go to school and only if she made a miraculous recovery would she be there.
Whether the child feels better or not is not the point!
I mean, why would they make up the rule unless to safe guard the other children??
My DS had the bug last week. My DD looked like she migh t be headed towards it on Saturday but was just a bit out of sorts for the day, absolutely fine on Sunday.
I felt, as she was not sick, that it woudl be ok to send her to school, a close call, but all is well.
The mother in question seemed to me to just be kidding, afterall, I had said to the father about the school rules, I thought DD would be safe enough.
Given that this mother and the other mother were saying that the class would be less pupils today.
But this girl is in, and sits at my DDs table!!
What should I do?
Perhaps I am over reacting?
Perhaps I should have just kept my DD off, just to be on the safe side?
But when you see that people are talking about the class being 'a bit smaller tomorrow' you think that it would be ok.
But to place the child in the class knowing she has been sick yesterday evening??
AIBU to think that it is totally wrong??
Or AIBU cos I should just not have taken the risk with my own DD?
