Ever since oldest started daycare a year and a half ago, my kids (3m and 1m) have been constantly sick. They got sick (I’m using sick in the context of having to stay home due to daycare rules, not colds) maybe once a month at their old daycare which was okay (but one was a month long stomach bug resulting in a hospitalization stay for both children a week apart). Then my oldest was unfortunately subjected to some abuse and we pulled him from the school into a much bigger daycare but have had a fantastic experience. Unfortunately, bigger daycare, more illnesses.
It’s been every two weeks since we started in October. I know it’s every two weeks because it’s when our house cleaner comes and we always are cancelling. My youngest has his second set of ear tubes after 8 ear infections total in a year. It took two reschedules to make his ear tube appt because he got sick twice on surgery day. I just got over my FOURTH stomach flu just this year. We just hit our deductible for the second year in a row by April. Whenever we have plans, we are canceling because they get sick the day before or day of. We celebrated Easter 3 weeks late because we had Covid. I have no social life because everyone hates that flaky friend who is always cancelling because their kids are “sick” (they really are!). I have no hobbies because I have to take care of sick kids constantly. I thankfully work from home but I work an extremely stressful corporate job so it’s just a shit show constantly. Yesterday my oldest refused to get out of bed, wasn’t responding, rushed him to the ER and he had ANOTHER ear infection so he is now doomed for tubes.
I love my children and I knew kids get constantly sick but wtf is this.
