"This must be some super interstellar mutant virus from space. Empires have fallen at the foot of this pox!" - The Tick
It's amazing how quickly new parents feel they're in a position to criticize other parents. For instance, one would think that someone who has only been doing the parent thing for three and a half months would be hesitant to lay into other parents who have multiple older children.
Yeah, one would think so, but...
Other parents suck. There. I said it.
After dealing with Adam's cold, which morphed into an ear infection, then put Jean out of commission for a few days, then kicked my butt for a few days, I just have one comment for the parents who drop their kids off at the YMCA daycare even though the rules and common courtesy suggest you shouldn't put the other kids at risk and whose child is clearly sick, as indicated by the multi-colored mucus sheen glistening across 2/3 of his/her face: DON'T!
Hey, I can relate. Those two hours that he's in daycare while I work out are important to getting me through the day at roughly the same level of sanity I started it, but it's not only about you. The rest of us have kids to deal with too.
So the next time you feel like dropping your sick kid off while you work out, hoping no one will notice your little snot-glazed Typhoid Mary is infecting more people than that monkey from Outbreak, don't do it. There's a circle of hell reserved for people like you, and when the End Times come, I'm naming names.

I LOVE IT!!!....Glad to have you back!!!.....
I'll admit that my vitriol may have been a little more intense due to the massive coughing fit that limited me to about four hours of sleep the night before. It's possible I might not have written "snot-glazed Typhoid Mary" if I had had a full night's sleep. Maybe.
