Here's my situation; My hubby is my assistant. His throat hurt for about 2 weeks but he never went to dr. and it went away. My throat started to hurt as soon as he got better (last week) and one of my daycare parents came in complaining that her husband and her both had sore throats (mom also had laryngitis but son had only a runny nose). I went to dr. on Sat. when it really flared up and I was diagnosed with strep. Got on antibiotics right away and texted all daycare parents to let them know we had a strep outbreak in the daycare and it must be cured with antibiotics by a dr. Also, let them know I needed a dr.'s note to return if their child contracted it.
So far, no one else has had it, although my 10 yr old did just wake up complaining, so she is missing school to go to the dr. today, just to make sure.
Now here's the problem. Mom that came in sick at drop off and pick up times last week states that her kid is just fine. No reply to my text over the weekend and now she shows up with her 3 yr old son today. I ask if they went to dr. She says no, her kid only has a runny nose. I say, no I meant you and hubby because you both had sore throats last week and I texted you to tell you that we have strep here. She says, no but we are all better. (By the way; she's the type of mom who doesn't want to be bothered by raising her kid. Her home is very dirty with bugs from what I hear. Yikes!, when her kid has something wrong she won't take him in even though they are military and get free healthcare, she admits to tylenol ing him up to cover a fever before drop off, tried to tell me he wasn't contagious from an illness because he's on meds and when questioned further I find out it's NOT antibiotics it is tylenol and ibuprofen to mask symptoms, she comes in at 6 in the morning and is VERY loud when she knows my 3 kids are still asleep and no one else comes until after 7, and the worst part of it all is her husband is very well off and she is not working because she has to, but because she doesn't want to be home with her kid).
So.. what would you do? Do I need to keep the kid away from others in case he got what mom and dad had?

: will wait
This is how I feel as well.
I was soooo sick whenever I wasn't on antibiotics, fine on them. The day I was off it came back, every single time! With tonsilitis your neck is so sore that it hurts to turn your head. I had a heck of a time merging into traffic with this and also was very feverish and just ill all around! It is not a fun thing!! And I don't think I ever had strep as a kid or an adult! When he removed them they were the size of walnuts!!
