I'll tell you what, I'm pretty over this seemingly constant cycle of my kids being sick and needing to stay home from school. Too many people in the house all the time make familycalhoon go crazy!

Same here! Mine seem to be at school for a couple of weeks and then home for a week :(

My eldest got home from a 4 day camp. Probably slept a total of 16 hours I think. This does not work if you are ten.

Tinyest starts daycare in 2 months and I gotta be honest, I’m not looking forward to this part!

I'm old, young miss seagoon took few days off and I didn't when I was small either. That's not just an anecdote, it's just my experience of what has been noted in proper studies.

BECAUSE schools had fewer students and that meant less spreading of germs.

Thanks Jeff for closing half the schools. Cunt.

( we need more schools )
