normally I can tolerate the sicknesses, but I have work to do on the computer, and this pinkeye is really starting to hurt, even with the drops

It doesn't help much now, but there are apparently a finite number of different cold strains, and I've read that you can only get each one once. So you will get fewer colds later.

Pinkeye, alas, I think you an keep on getting.

Worth it, though- my son just keeps getting more fun. And strange, but that's another matter.

Little kids eh? Aren't they like having three short slaves - use one to get you a beer, use another to hold the beer, and use the last one as a ottoman. Sure, it may warp them but enjoy it while it they don't know whats goin on.

I feel for ya... My son seems to bring home every type of cold/flu/illness from school.

Here's a question...we were discussing this at last nights game...

Have you ever kept your child home from school, but then later in the day, still let them participate in their extracurricular (sp?) activities?

I think I've done it twice... keeping him home from school, but letting him play hockey later that same say. I only allow this for games...if it were a practice he wouldn't go.

If it makes you feel any better, I have a friend who has 18-month-old triplets, and he and his wife and all three babies have the stomach flu. They won't even let us go over to lend a hand because they don't want us to get sick ourselves.

That is horrible parenting.
