If I kept DS home with me tomorrow I know I wouldn't be very entertaining since I'm sick but the only reason I hesitate sending him to daycare is because he was really sick over xmas weekend with a high fever and now his fever is gone but he's still got a cold and not feeling 100%. I know I want to be home when I'm not feeling great, but I just think he would have more fun at daycare even if he sleeps most of the day, which my DCP told me he did on Monday. WWYD?

I really hate calling in sick to work so if I'm sick enough to do it, then I need to rest and get better. I can't do that with DD home so she goes to daycare. I do take her in later and pick her up early but she absolutely goes.
DD -- 5YO
DS -- 3YO
I'd send him also! (Am I late on this?). But this is from someone who is sending her kids this week while we're off (after being away with them at my mom's for 11 days & we're not sick), so we can get some things done and also have some couple time for once, like going to a movie, nice lunch out and hanging in...

I have not been sick yet (thankfully) but I would totally send DD to DC if I was staying home sick. I'd want to rest up and get better.
Heck, H and I are both off work tomorrow and we are sending DD to DC for the morning just so we can take down the Christmas tree in peace!
With your LO just getting over something I'd maybe play it by ear. See how he is feeling in the morning. I wouldn't send LO to DC if they were sick.
Generally I don't stay home unless I'm really, really sick so I'm not up for watching a baby either so I send him to daycare.
I would send him. He'll have more fun at DC than being home with you while you are sick. It will also let you get better.
He's not going to get any sicker by goign to DC than he would if he stayed home wiht you. He'll just be more miserable at home with nothing to do and you being worn out.
