I swear if I don't die by the time my kid's through daycare, I'm going to live forever.

This little vector has brought home more crap in 8 months then I've ever experienced in 37 years of life.

Stomach Virus
Flu
RSV
Some crap that gives you a rash and makes you poop water.
COVID

I done caught all of it from him. I'm going to have to start taking a multi-vitamen.

I fully expect this kid to give me shingles at some point.

They all use the same toys. So you got all these little grunts gumming everything together, its no wonder this happens.

If they all just had their own toys, I wonder if this would get better.

I have a toddler in daycare and a wife that works in the emergency room, I figure in the event of a nuclear meltdown it'll just be me and the cockroaches left standing.

When two of mine were in day care the younger one brought home a stomach virus almost every other week the first six months

His teacher realized he was finishing everyone else’s milk real quick before the sippy cups were picked up - so once she put a stop to that, we didn’t catch anything else

Maybe you should just become healthy through diet and exercise instead of taking potassium that you're just going to piss out anyway.

But that would take effort

We've all been there. I thought my oldest had a good immune system b/c he never got sick during the first year of being alive. We finally put the kid in daycare and on day 4 we get the sick kid call; it was RSV. I'm pretty sure it takes 72 hours to incubate in your system so basically got it on day 1 or 2. The following 6 weeks involved me missing more work from being sick than I had in the previous 10 years combined. They bring it all home. It was brutal. I don't envy you at all.

Round 2 comes when they get to big school and bring home all those diseases y’all haven’t been exposed to yet.

And the lice. The F’ing lice. The boy and I have short hair and use hair shite to keep it from sticking up all day. The wife and daughter don’t. Those two went through every case that hit the school. Turns out the lice don’t like hair products.

Mine is 4.5 years and doesn't bring as much home now, but still gets sent home all the time.

Like 3 weeks ago he got sent home at 3:30 pm for having a fever of 100, a bright red ear, and he said the inside hurts. It was an ear infection.

Daycare ONLY if last resort. No outsourcing the raising of our children was our mantra.

Icing…

Never will forget a co-worker and Daycare owner, who gave me a tour of their Daycare, showed me a room with 10 or so infants in high chairs. He called them his “loss leaders” in full business speak. Big ole blue eyes little kids looking up at us. Owner saw them as revenue only.

The first year of daycare is the worst. Mine's about a year and a half in and it's finally slowing down. He used to be sick 2-3 times a month. Hand foot and mouth was the worst when I got it from him.

I feel you man.

We were lucky enough to be able to keep our kid home for 6 months through cold and flu season.

Fend of the first week of daycare he has full on double ear infection. We are 3 months in and he already has tubes because he’s basically just had ear infections from whatever plague they give him on a weekly basis the entire time.

The other day those fricker sent him home for “diarrhea” because he had 2 blowouts in 30 minutes. They didnt changed his diaper for the first 2.5 hours he was there. Then because he went home for 24 hr after 10 he couldn’t come the whole next day because we were after the 10 o’clock drop off

fricking hate daycare

That is hysterical. My toddler daughter was getting gum from underneath coffee tables, chairs, whatever, in any public place you had to watch her closely.

Cheer up OP, my daughter was a breeze to raise, never cried, loved daycare, made friends quickly, my son however, was more of a challenge. Everything was a test of wills, he wasn't restaurant ready until he was about 8, if you took time to read a menu he would be gone, to the kitchen, sitting down with other people, eating off plates.

Grandchildren are the payoff.

Will be great long term, though. My one child that didn't go to daycare was the sickliest one I had. The others developed bullet-proof immune systems.
