#1 has gone to but just three days of camp, and she\u2019s already picked up some sort of sickness.\u00a0 Croup or RSV, most likely, although it would probably be in my best interests to run a COVID test to make sure, but the point remains is that all it took was three (half) days being exposed to other kids before my kid has picked up some sickness.<\/span><\/p>\n And because we\u2019re active parents who aren\u2019t content to let our children suffer in isolation, we do what we can to care for them when they\u2019re waking up because they can\u2019t breathe, and I woke up this morning with a slight fever after going to bed with massive chills, and it\u2019s evident that such a bug has afflicted me as well.\u00a0 I\u2019m mostly fine, but my digestive system is telling me that I\u2019m most definitely not 100%.<\/span><\/p>\n The point is, I\u2019m livid and frustrated because the impression I get is that some parent(s) somewhere of kids that go to my kid\u2019s school, knowingly let their sick kid go to school, where they have exposed everyone else to their plague, and in the case of my daughter, she\u2019s brought it into my home where now I\u2019m also affected by it too.<\/span><\/p>\n Basically, the overarching feeling I feel is what the subject of this post says: fuck parents who send sick kids to school.\u00a0 I wish grave misfortune onto those of you who knowingly do it, like some gnarly and violent diarrhea that ruins your day, and maybe some clothes along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n I get it, it\u2019s frustrating as hell raising kids sometimes, and when they\u2019re sick and whiny and inconsolable, I\u2019d want to jettison them out of the house for a few hours too.\u00a0 But that\u2019s a dick move and irresponsible and reckless, and I wish terrible things onto parents who knowingly do it.\u00a0 Today, we kept #1 home from school, because it\u2019s the right thing to do, and this is how responsible people conduct themselves, and look out for others.<\/span><\/p>\n Ironically, my own mother sent me to school with very obvious evidence that I had chicken pox.\u00a0 But this was when I was in kindergarten, and I didn\u2019t know the severity of the situation, until my teacher took one look at me and shipped my ass off to the office where I had to wait for my mom to come get me.\u00a0 I still give my mom shit about that story to this day, even more so now that I\u2019m a parent as well.<\/span><\/p>\n And I understand that sometimes it\u2019s hard to tell if a kid is sick or not.\u00a0 In those instances, there\u2019s a little more leniency from my judgment, but if your kid is showing obvious signs of hoarse coughing, snotty noses or any sort of physical addling, then fucking keep your kids home for god\u2019s sake.<\/span><\/p>\n I have no idea if the parents of whatever plague rats that have spread their disease onto my kid\u2019s school knew or not that they were harboring a patient zero.\u00a0 But in my cynical view of society, I assume they did, and so fuck them.\u00a0 I hope they get a case of the shits while stuck in traffic, because knowingly sending sick kids to school is exactly why coronavirus will never, ever end, and I\u2019ll go homicidal if some shithead passes it onto my kids.\u00a0 Sure, I know this whole rant sets me up for some future hypocrisy if I\u2019m ever in a position where it\u2019s borderline, and I send my kids to school, but we\u2019ll cross that bridge if and when it ever happens.\u00a0 But for now, crazy shits for those who do.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" #1 has gone to but just three days of camp, and she\u2019s already picked up some sort of sickness.\u00a0 Croup or RSV, most likely,
