A 6 month old came in yesterday with a cough. By 11:30 it was clear this kid is sick. The cough was DEEP in his chest. Tell Mom to come get him. I knew she had an appointment andecent distance away that morning, so I told her as soon as you’re done come get him. Two hours later she comes in huffy and doesn’t say a word. That part I didn’t mind because she never hushes normally, but I was peeved that she had an attitude about coming to get in. Later I get a message that she took him to doc and they said he just had allergies. Except she told me her pediatrician is still almost two hours away and that she couldn’t get him on for his 6 month shots this week because of the holiday. Despite her not working and him being here from open to close she just had too much to do to make his original shot appointment she said.
So I asked if she happened to get a note. It’s in my policies that I may ask for one. Three fourths of mine have been sick so something is definitely going around and I want everyone to wait until healthy to come back so it doesn’t make another lap. She gets pissy about that and says she doesn’t want other kids to dictate when her child can come because she pays for him. I explained that the health of other children will always be a consideration and that if she wasn’t okay with that, I want the provider for her. She said ok and she didn’t want a problem because she has health issues she needs to work out so she wouldn’t bring him today. In that same message though was how she was confused because he didn’t have a fever and she wasn’t asked to not bring him back. (Umm, doctors note to return?)
Clearly I’m annoyed with her to know end at this point. Then I see her post on Facebook a pic of baby getting a breaking treatment at docs for RSV!!! She also said doc cleared him for turkey day tomorrow. 🤦🏻*♀️
Keep in mind that she hasn’t told me this personally. No notification so exposes kids could know. Nothing. And in her post she said she was glad she had this appointment for him today because he texted positive. If he had an appointment anyway why were you complaining about him not coming today and lying about takeoff him last night?!?
I’m easy to tell her not to come back. I’m not willing to put up with attitude about picking up your sick kid or him staying home, or her frankly.
She’s complained to me that nobody has offered to buy her diapers (she’s a single mom), and like I said, she isn’t working. He is here right at opening at 7, leaves at 5:30, and goes to bed at 6.
Am I overreacting? I hate to lose him because he is sweet and I know for those hours he is well cared for and loved on.

Not playing by the rules, creating health issues for everyone else, who needs that @rap?? It's not worth the money. And yes, I'd definitely confront her right on FB.
