whether they are ill or just winging it? My ds got up late today saying I feel rough feel sick no temp headacheetc. We were out yesterday he was buggy racing with my brother and dad and then all went for lunch. Got home at 3 and he went out skate boarding and seemed fine. Said he felt I'll last night but stayed up eating sausage rolls a whole packet and choc biscuits etc. Now moaning about college! So much harder to tell at this age just lots of sighting and moaning but he looks ok. I think he is knackered that's it!

it's something I struggle with too ...

ds was off today but he's been coughing and coughing for 10 days now and been generally under the weather and he's just not shifting it (coughed so much the other day he threw up ..)

so this morning as he was collapsing pathetically on the breakfast bar saying he felt like shit ... I thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt ...

with ds if he keeps on going (and he would have gone in if I'd made him) whatever lurgy he has just won't go away and he ends up having more time off in the end
