Just because you can't birth them doesn't mean you can't take care of them. There's an assumption here that only moms are fit for this task. I was the primary baby wrangler in our house for four years.

Weeks isn't BSing about school germs. They are little plague dogs. That's one of the reasons we went to a lot of trouble to avoid day care, and they have been primarily homeschooled. Consequently, my kids have only had antibiotics about four times in their lives, so when they get them, they work.

Ain't that the truth! Get used to it...
