Their internal parental system tells them not to get ill if their kid is ill because they have to take care of the kid. Once the child is free of illness, adults are allowed to get sick. Laws of the universe. -- Posted by nik1 at 1:51 am on Nov. 26, 2008 So....what's a parents choice?  They are parents and they love their kids.  Most parents think about the kids health and comfort before their own.  Kids are like germ factories and they pick up all the crap that other kids bring to school with them.  If they would only wash their hands about a dozen times a day most of it would stay at school.
