Couldnt think of what else to put on title.

Mindee has lunch and very promptly leaked all through his nappy,onto outside of nappy, onto sofa and through the trousers. (Was their own food not mine).

Went to sleep for a bit then woke up and at pickup time done another very watery poo which had to be done straight away, very quiet few laughs and giggles but not as much as normal.

Told mum the tummy was sore when touched and asked if sore was told yes. She said was it before food after food etc and said it was the food that caused it, but it was straight through, i know that s.a can cause you to be ill but with it you normally puke straight away not the runs.

i am expecting mum to bring him tomorrow anyway and when he had a sore/runny tummy and i said i thought he was ill my reply i get is normally ' Do you think i would bring him if ill' My reply is 'normally parents do' which in my case is very true.

Advice/thoughts please. When do you normally say they cant come?

leaking poo (that runny) normally means 24 hrs after a the last occurance of said leaky poo

I have sacked a parent over this

[pout] - don't I count?

Of course you do but they make me feel guilty when i say that they canby come as i always get ' Do you think i would send an ill child' what to say to that.

"Well I think he's ill and as you signed my sickness polisy - you know I get to make that decision, I'm sorry but if i catch his bug - you won't have minding for 3 days - because 72hrs is now the rule for returning to work with children"

That sometimes works

Katymac · 14/06/2006 22:36

"so D at 1pm, means I can have him at 1pm tomorrow......as long as he has no more"

[pulls tongue at parent]so there!!

Is that your policy as i thought it was min 48hrs after last poo. I hate this side of minding.

school is 48....but I've always used 24 & it seems reasonable

It also enables me to get the "Guidence for schools" out and show to parent that actually it should now be 72.....if they get stroppy

It's hard being a parent of a sick child

I imagine it's harder being the parent of a child whose childminder has the bug the child gave it.....& who isn't working for 3/4/5 days (cos their children got it too)

How do you deal with 'but they were fine after so i brought him'? They came today did say an sloppyness and child would be sent home.
