I find that the childcare system sucks for this... you have to pay whether you go or not. Not to mention that some parents don't get paid for time off work and / or are pressured not to take too many sick days. So I can def understand it from that point of view.

And in her defense stomach bugs are so unpredictable. Emerson had one once and he was fine for 2 days so I sent him back to childcare and by midday they'd rung me to pick him up because he was vomitting and had diarrea again. Those viral bugs are just awful... you think they're fine and then suddenly they're sick again.

Personally I realise that bugs fly around child cares like there's not tomorrow which is why over uni holidays I'm cutting Em's days back.

You poor thing must have felt so sick though!
