My 6 year old god son is very sick. I'm not sure if has some sort of virus or what but he has been very weak for the past 2 days and threw up yesterday. He has no appetite and his mother had to force him to drink water because he was becoming very dehydrated.
His mother is unable to stay home with him because she has to work. She is a single mom and has no contact with his father. All of her relatives have to work and were unable to keep him. She was forced to send her son off to school in this condition because she is a single mom and is pregnant with her second child and cannot afford to miss a day at work.
I wish I would have had the day off because I would have kept him myself.
My question is, did she handle this right? Should she have sent him to school or called in and stayed home with him. I do not judge her actions because I am not in her shoes and do not know her situation. I am just curious as to how other single moms would have handled this.
