She said she felt unwell. I checked. Slight temp, possibly imagination. She said she had a headache. No way I could check that, so I gave her Panadol and sent her to school.
Of course, now she has a higher temp, and she's flushed, with a headache AND a sore 'neck', and a bit of a cough. She should have been in bed today, not spreading her cold to all her classmates.
Guilt. I has it.
My kids were so disgustingly healthy that I knew a temperature shouldn't be ignored. It's harder when you have kids, as some of my friends did, who ran a temperature at the mere thought of a Math test.
ReplyDeleteYes, that is my dilemma!
DeleteIf I send them to school, they're probably sick. If I let them stay home, they're probably faking it.
