Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: need advice on handling nutso supervisor

FACT: When you work with children YOU GET SICK A LOT! I had strep 5 times last year...they thought they were gonna have to take my tonsils out (I taught kindergarten!) Two weeks of babysitting and I already have bronchitus.

We're in a very germy field (I babysit babies and older kids all day long...so I can relate!) We LOVE the kids...and they love us...but the germs come with the territory. People tell me I just have low immunity...but so what! It doesn't change the fact that I GET SICK ALL THE TIME! Whatever the reason, whatever I do to stay well, the germs are out there and we can't change that!

I would wear a mask and gloves to your jobs claming you don't want to get sick for your boss to miss anymore meetings!

Seriously, I wish I had some good advice. If you get any, PLEASE pass it on! It's difficult for me to miss work as I am the sole provider for my hubby and I this year! But if you're sick, you're sick!

I say pamper yourself and get lotsa rest! Feel better!

Love,
Ruchie
