I'm with LTD. My DD tried the other day to tell me she was sick and I went "ok then back to bed." She protested and I said ok then she could go to school. Sick kids = bed all day.

She then told me she just wanted the day off. She said another girl from her class stayed home and spent the day in her Pjs watching TV with her little sister. I said that was nice for her but its not how we do things in our family.

I'm also with OTF - do you think something else is going on??
