I work in a daycare and I've had a horrible cold for over a week now i have tried my best to go into work but I'm still coughing and hacking around the kids. Mind you I wear a mask always because being in a room all day with small children is a guarantee you'll catch something. This week my cold has become worse I now have a ear infection and this morning I woke up and vomited. I called in and my boss was not happy trying to convince me to come in…. I have been coughing non stop when I'm working around kids and staff and parents. I mean I'm no expert but I as a parent would not want someone who puked working with my child. Am I in the wrong for calling off to let my body recover or am I weak?
