Question for daycare MoMs

If one DC is sick, do you keep everyone home (even the one(s) that aren't sick) or just the sick one?  Just curious...

(I've generally done a combo of keeping one or both...if I need to take one DD to the doctor, I do what I can to avoid taking both if I can!)

    well kids go to daycare - no matter what :)

    a) keeps them away from sick kid- less chance of catching it...

    b) gives sick kid more mommy time, more snuggles needed to feel better

    c) well kids won't have to go to doc office, where there are even more germs to pick up... and it will be easier for me to go to doc office with just one kid.

    d) gives me more one-on-one time with them, which is rare for them to get - so this way it's one benefit of being sick.

    I've always sent the healthy one and stayed home with the sickie.  Sadly, I enjoy the one on one time.

    I'm not ready for them to be alone at daycare yet. Thankfully, my mom doesn't work and can help. She can't watch both alone all day, but she can take one. It worked perfect today when I had to take ds2 to the pedi. My mom met us there and played with ds1 in the waiting room. She even made friends with a bunch of other moms. God love her, she soaks up the "are they twins?" attention. I'm sure someday ill be fine to send one because I agree its good for them.

    Usually when one is sick they both are sick so I haven't had to think about sending one while keeping the other home...I don't know how I would feel sending one tho I suspect they would be just fine...

    if one starts to not feel well at dc and I was taking them in to see the doc and could get in to get the sick child while the other was napping-I have left one child to finish up the day while taking the other to the pedi...

    We usually keep one home with either C or myself, and then one of us takes the other one into daycare.  Since we are technically "working from home" when one of them is sick, it really helps to only have to deal with one baby, especially if you have to take the sick one to the doctor.

    The sick kid stays home and the other goes to daycare.
