Re: gym daycare issues

Yeah I would pursue getting the doctor's note on file. If this employee is
excessively dogmatic about the sick policy, this will quash that. But consider
if it's that the other employees were more pliable, and you (the OP) have just
run into a stickler. (I say "consider", not that it's necessarily the case...)

I suppose I could call up and make a non urgent appointment with the
paediatrician - it just seems wrong to me, taking up the time of a
doctor I know is busy (when I called to book a well child visit, they
gave me an appointment 3 mths away), the my insurance paying out for it
(and if they didn't, me paying out for it!).

Oh, never worry about "taking a doctor's time". With all the camp and school
medical forms he or she will have to sign, this is only the beginning. My
doctor's office has staff that will handle this sort of thing if the examination
or other record is already in place.



And (to the OP), find out the work schedule of this particular daycare provider
and see if you can simply avoid her since she's been rude about it. Maybe, as
others have said, this problem will take care of itself if she leaves. But
being the one with the runny-nose child, and since this sort of thing is always
a question, I wouldn't go writing letters of complaint or anything like that.
At least not now.

It's not so much that the issue has been raised, it's been how the issue
has been raised, this letter has been sent out at a time matching me
being asked to get a doctor's note, not at a time that they could say I
had failed to provide one after it's been requested. Similarly how this
person has dealt with other issues, walking into class and forgetting to
take the child to wash their hands, just merits a polite reminder
"please could you take her to wash her hands", not a snappy comment,
that might be appropriate had I ignored the previous request, it's as if
she assumes I'm deliberately not doing things. I'm pretty sure she works
each day until about 1, most of the time I am there after that time, but
one day I have a class at 11.15, so once a week is unavoidable.


Sometimes we have to deal with difficult people. Life :) Avoidance is a good
first measure. If she's all that bad, eventually disatisfaction all around will
take care of the problem.
