Thanks for the story, my kids are still little but I’m sure this is coming.

We’ve had a few fake sick days in this household. I started noticing that DD15 would always feel sick on my pay day…lol Soon put a stop to that! I do what you do…..no fever, then they go to school and unless they are throwing up, they can go to school and if they really are feeling sick, the school office can give me a call to come and collect them.

It’s a hard job!

I am happy that those days are behind me. My son wasn't real bad with fake sick days, but when they start to happen every Friday or Monday and they wonder how you figured them out...lol Breezies last blog post..Re: Saturday Stumble/Digg Exchange (10-11)

My kids are still little, the oldest is in 1st grade, so we haven’t really gotten into “fake” sick days yet. But I think sometimes kids just need a break. A couple of weeks ago, my son really was sick & had to miss playschool. He was so upset!

Very interesting story, I know that there were times when I was young that I did the same thing with my mom and yes I was able to stay home. Although in my case I always enjoyed school it was just sometimes I needed a break. I fully agree with personal health days for kids as well as adults within reason. It sounds like things are going much better since you provided a structure of what would be acceptable. Scotts last blog post..Sphere of Influence - Zones and Word of Mouth Marketing

Sounds like you’re a very good mom! And with that comes more than its share of mothers intuition

We have one child, whose actually close to adulthood. He’s also had the opportunity to “home school” via a public school system. Not too much to get away with there LOL! However in the teen years, they always seem tired. I remember sleeping in all afternoon on weekends growing up myself. My job is to make sure he’s up and working his buns off, run all our online businesses, field work phone calls, and still make time to answer/assist school wise when/if needed.

Anyway, I ramble. Sounds like you’re doing a heck of a job being “mom!”
