My youngest is 4 and he is currently sitting on my head. Literally. He is also bare-butt.

From first glance I thought this was one of those chaotic renaissance paintings! Lol

Your eyebrow(s) look great, though!

Ah yes. I have a 1 year old who's started using me as a jungle gym and boy oh boy he'll pitch a fit if i try to push him away so he doesn't end up crushing me @.@

mommit
At least they r so adorable, I put my son in the living room with his dad, put almost all his toys in there, so he filled his dump truck with toys, pushed it into the room and started playing in there so he could watch to make sure I’m still home

Thank you! I got my eyebrows microbladed a couple months ago, and now I feel like I can take over the world. Hahaha my kids do the same when I’m talking to my parents. Just trying to make sure Mema and Papa see them

Probably for the best you wouldn't want to make other kids poorly for halloween. Good on you for not been selfish.
7,310,838
mommit
Mom and past preschool TA here. You did the right thing. The rule is: fever free for 24 hours without medicine. It's a bummer she missed out on her party, but you could have prevented the spread of illness to her classmates and teachers. No one wants diarrhea, especially on a holiday lol Thank you for being a responsib...

I always try to think of it this way: if you had heard of this happening to another kid, but their parents let them go to school while potentially sick, would you be pissed? I know I would be. I think you did the absolute right thing.
7,310,841
mommit
I too experienced mom guilt this morning... I was *so excited* for my son's first school Halloween party. But he is hella sick and coughed in my face, all boogery, and sneezy. So I had no choice. But you followed your instincts in what you thought was right, and as a mom that is *literally* all you can do. So good job ...

I remember missing my 4th grade Valentine’s Day party because I was sick. Was it a bummer? Sure. A bigger bummer would be if I remembered throwing up at my 4th grade Valentine’s Day party. Also, as a teacher, THANK YOU for not sending your secretly sick child to school. Ibuprofen does not make kids un-sick. A lot of ...
7,310,843
mommit
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for not sending her to school. We had a cold a couple of weeks ago, and one of my daughters gets a fever with her colds. So it could have been that, it seems like everyone is getting it (not covid, everyone was tested). But while we all just had mild cold symptoms, she went str...
7,310,844
mommit
I wish more parents were like you! I will NEVER forget the holiday concert when I saw fellow parents whose kid had been home all week. The mom legit said to me “she has a 104 fever and she’s falling sleep but WE COULDNT MISS THE CONCERT!” I was in a RAGE.
7,310,845
mommit
It sucks so bad when they get sick on a fun day. I feel for your daughter! We kept our daughter home for nearly an entire week because of a medium fever (99-102) and it ended up being croup 4 days later.
7,310,846
mommit
As a new mom and teacher, you made the right decision. She would’ve felt miserable all morning and you would’ve had to pick her up anyway. It’s better that you kept her home and she didn’t start to participate in the activities rather than her being there and seeing all the action and then having to go home, you and he...
7,310,847
mommit
My mom would make us go to school no matter how we felt, she’s the sort that uses the “I never use sick days” as a badge of demented honor when in reality, it’s “I’m spreading around awful shit because I can’t be arsed to stay home.” I legitimately can’t remember a single time she let us stay home that didn’t involve u...
7,310,848
mommit
As someone with a child in daycare, thank you so much for following the protocol.
7,310,849
mommit
Good you kept her home! People sending their kids to daycare with slight illnesses is why kids are always getting sick at daycare!
7,310,850
mommit
All the parents are going to say you did the right thing but my Mom kept me home from a field trip in second grade for the same situation and I’m not over it ! On a more serious note, she will be at the next class party!
7,310,851
mommit
No. Put it this way. Your daughter likely caught this bug from a parent who said “it’s probably fine.”
7,310,852
mommit
We missed my toddler’s Halloween party yesterday due to a totally random upset tummy right before leaving for school. No other symptoms, and he ended up acting fine all day, so I had some FOMO for him but it is the courteous thing to do for the whole class! I know there are siblings in there who have newborns st home (...
7,310,853
mommit
You did the absolute right thing. Let me give you a little anecdote though. First grade. I’m sicker than a dog, I cried and begged my mom to let me go. I didn’t want my jasmine costume to go to waste. I didn’t want to miss the candy or the Halloween parade. My mom called in some favors from the neighbors… In between...
7,310,854
mommit
No wtf I have an immunocompromised child and Id be furious if you just sent her in with a fever during a pandemic, that would have been really selfish
7,310,855
mommit
Absolutely you did the right thing. Always keep your babe at home if they are not feeling well. I am a PreK teacher and you would be surprised how fast illnesses spread in the classroom bc parent send their kids in sick! Trust your mama instincts.
7,310,856
mommit
You ABSOLUTELY did the right thing! Fevers and diarrhea are reasons to stay home for sure. Good job mama!
7,310,857

I used to have a dayhome.... someone sent their kid to my home who had puked that morning. I was livid. It was a long weekend....my kids were supposed to go to their dad's, that got cancelled. I had sick kids all weekend, plus myself had to call in sick Monday and Tuesday and also bleach my whole playroom (while sick m...

As a preschool teacher, thank you so much for doing this. In the morning their temperature can be lower, usually around noon time it starts going back up again if they’re still sick. Don’t feel guilty at all for following the rules, they’re there for a reason & it’s not only to keep the other kids safe but yours too- i...
7,310,859
mommit
Omg yes!! Your partner and mom would have been fine with other kids getting sick. That's really messed up. You absolutely did the right thing. I hope your little one feels better. My kiddo is sick right now too. I think he has a sinus infection, we'll see. Going to the pediatrician in a few. If he does, he won't be ...
7,310,860
mommit
You totally did the right thing. You can still make it a special day! Put on Spookly and make some paper pumpkins or paper plate spooky Halloween masks. I hope your child feels better soon!
7,310,861
mommit
Definitely doing the right thing to keep her home.
7,310,862
mommit
You did the right thing. Having a child who has gotten sick from kids coming to her class ill on both Halloween and Christmas party days I appreciate your approach. I know it's disappointing but it's the right thing to do
7,310,863
mommit
You made the right choice for your daughter and for the other kids in her class. I know it’s hard sometimes. My daughter missed her Christmas program that she’d practiced and made a costume for because she was sick. It’s just the way live goes if you’re a responsible parent/empathetic human being. The fun she would hav...
7,310,864
mommit
Even before your edit you did the right thing. You preserved the fun and the health of all the other kids in the class, their siblings and their parents. It absolutely stinks that your LO is feeling unwell and didn’t get to enjoy the party - but avoiding her disappointment by risking the holiday fun for every other c...
7,310,865
mommit
You did the right thing!!!! I’m over here feeling opposite: yesterday morning my 7 mo seemed a bit off but my husband convinced me to send her in anyways. We got a call three hours into the day that she had a temp of over 100!!! Lesson learned, always trust your gut
7,310,866
mommit
Yes, it’s disappointing, but you did the right thing. You don’t want to make other kids sick for Halloween. If she stays OK throughout the day, I am sure you can find some Halloween activities tomorrow.
7,310,867
mommit
You did the right thing! There will be plenty of Halloween parties to come. My son missed an entire 1.5 years of pre-k because of the pandemic.
7,310,868
mommit
Good job, momma. This experience shows that your instincts are good and trustworthy!
7,310,869
mommit
Absolutely did the right thing, I kept my son home on Monday because he has a looser then normal bowel movement; no fever or other symptoms just to be safe. He was totally fine and never developed other symptoms but I try to be respectful and cautious.
7,310,870
mommit
Lots of good points from everyone else but in terms of your kiddo missing a first school party...I got sick during the day in kindergarten, the day of a Valentine's Day party. It was a bad memory that even now I always associate with Valentine's Day! So you very well could have spared her from a bad association
7,310,871
mommit
You did the right thing! You absolutely shouldn't send your kid anywhere until they have gone 24 hours without a fever.
7,310,872
mommit
You made the right call! And she won't remember missing this event, if she even knows about it. I just kept my kindergartner home earlier this week for 2 days b/c of strep. I wanted to send her the 2nd day b/c the fireman and firetrucks were coming to the school and I was sad she was going to miss it, but I went wit...
7,310,873
mommit
I would not want your kid around mine if they had those symptoms and I don't think you would want mine around yours if the situation was reversed. You did the right thing!
7,310,874
mommit
Most preschools require 24 hours fever free to return for a reason. Don’t be that jerk parent who sends a sick kid to school. You did the right thing
7,310,875
mommit
Three times I have sent my son to school against my gut. Once he threw up about 30 minutes after he got there, once he threw up about 5 minutes after we left the house. Both times he was absolutely fine about 30 minutes afterwards, but I still wish I'd kept him home, there's nothing to say I can't send him in an hour ...
7,310,876
mommit
As someone who works in childcare- thank you. Too many send their sick kids in and then we get sick as well. Then we don’t have enough staff too. I hope she’s doing better
7,310,877
mommit
Naah Op I’m sorry to put it bluntly but I hate people who sends kids sick, it’s hard staying at home when there’s a party/ event for the little ones but your being selfish when other kids can catch whatever the sick ones have. Hope she is feeling better and thank you op for being considerate! You can always have your o...
7,310,878
mommit
No Thankyou for keeping her home! You did the right thing!
7,310,879
mommit
You literally protected not only your child and others from what they would’ve brushed off as nothing. God forbid if you sent her and get a call saying she passed out or complains that your child got other sick. You did what was right. You did what you felt was necessary. If you know in your heart and mind that your ch...
7,310,880
mommit
You absolutely without a single doubt did the right thing. Don't question yourself momma, you got this!
7,310,881
mommit
My motto is “there’s always next year” No worries mama when they are little like this they really don’t care about “missing” things
7,310,882
mommit
You absolutely made the right decision, it’s stinks but you did good. I hope she feels better
7,310,883
mommit
You absolutely did the right thing! Always trust your instincts when it comes to your child, and you won’t go wrong! Don’t let them make you feel bad, there will be more parties when she is well.
7,310,884
mommit
You sure did, it’s not just protecting the other kids, but you are able to monitor and care for your child if necessary. You can always throw your own party for her at home, so it’s not a complete wash.
7,310,885
mommit
You did the right thing. She won’t remember missing this Halloween party thing and you potentially saved several other families and kids from this sickness!!
7,310,886
mommit
You absolutely made the right call. Is there something special you can do with her at home today? Maybe a Halloween movie and pancakes, snuggled on the couch? Dress up in silly outfits together and have a Halloween music dance party? Eat a special treat?
7,310,887
mommit
I had to keep my son home from a family birthday party for my niece last weekend because he spiked a low grade fever and just seemed not himself. Felt super guilty about it but glad I did. Next day we found out there were two cases of hand, foot, mouth reported in his preschool and sure enough he had sores appear that ...
7,310,888
mommit
You made the right call. You would feel even worse if your child got the rest of the children sick.
7,310,889
mommit
Don’t feel bad. Those symptoms wouldn’t allow my son to be there (temp check of 100 sends them home). It sucks to miss fun things but there will be more fun things and minimizing sickness and the spread in the fall and winter is helpful.
7,310,890
mommit
You absolutely did the right thing.. and at this age she probably won’t remember it anyways. My son is 5 and he barely remembers 6 months ago lol.
7,310,891
mommit
You never know what kids can have. My own daughter has been fighting sickness after sickness since preschool began. And she’s the only one who wears a mask! We just got over RSV and now we’re headed to the doctor today for possible strep throat.
7,310,892
mommit
I was in a very similar situation. My kiddo woke up coughing with a clear runny nose. Hates to do it, but kept him home from daycare/Halloween festivities. And of course he’s fine now. But we have really strict public health guidelines about sending g kids to daycare here, so that also factored in.
7,310,893
mommit
Same thing happened when my children were younger. The Halloween Fairy came and we had our own party.
7,310,894
mommit
I did the same thing with my 4yo, he had the book fair and he missed it. I felt terrible because his brother(5) got to go the day prior so my 4yo was so excited but rules are rules.. it still stings but it was for the best.. his immune system isn’t the best as he is medically fragile so sickness is second nature for hi...

Trust me, that little girl is happy she’s home and not at risk of shitting her pants at school. You two can have your own little party at home, maybe?
7,310,899
mommit
100% did the right thing. Sorry, but if you’re able to keep your kid home when you at all suspect they’re sick it’s for the best! Kids are little germ spreaders, way better to keep her home then send her out and get 10 more kids + their teacher possibly sick.
7,310,900
mommit
I think you did the right thing, and I'm sure all the other parents would be grateful if they knew! We just got done battling sickness in our house. My in laws children both had pretty nasty coughs, and they didn't think to mention it to us, and still brought their children around ours. They thought it was a cold. Tur...
