Okay---I'm gonna add this one to the kid-hating pile-on. In my years o' working at numerous businesses, is what you have are the guys who drag themselves into work, even though they are sick. The story is that the kids brought home the bug that Dad caught, but he can't afford to miss work, or the boss might sanction him. Plus, he needs the $$$ to support the little buggers. And then--you get sick, too. Yep. They are vectors o' communicable disease, all right. Employers needta insist sick people stay home. That's what sick days are for. Hope that helps you some. Thankk Mee.
