So here is the deal -
I have this awsome sitter that is the person in the world, I love her to death as well as my children. She has been watching my DD 2 or 3 days a week since she was 6 months old (DD is 4.5 now)and watching my DS who is 9 off and on as well. I am very open with communication on what is going on with the children, illnesses, what we are working on ect. and she is very open with us as well. She does watch my children in her own home. So now with cold and flu season being here I have let her know that DS got the H1N1 vaccine from school and then had a "reaction" to it and got what our pedi is say H1N1. Well DS is back to school as per the CDC and Health deptarment guideline as he has no fever, eating well ect. The only thing he has right now is a runny nose and cough. Well to me that is just the common cold. DD does not have anything she is happy as can be ect.
Well Thurs and Fridays are DD scheduled days to be with my sitter but this week DS is to as well due to no school. My sitter has been staying up to date with how the kids are and feeling and had said she would feel better if they did not come if they had cold's. Ok I am down with that I can send them to by backup sitter no problem. Well Today I sent her an e-mail saying hey I found someone to take the kids this week due to DS still having a cold. I also asked about a few other things that are coming up to see if we wanted to try and make some plans for next week.
So my question is do you think I was wrong for deciding to send them to my back up sitter? I feel like I should pay her part for these 2 days? What do you think? Mind you she has not had my kids in care now for 2 weeks and this will be the 3rd. I know she need the money so I feel bad for not sending them but on the other hand I want to be respectful of her and her family and her wishes.
Ok, rant over
