We aren't going to take Doudou to kindergarten today. I've heard that a lot of kids in their class have colds.
感冒有什么关系我相信我儿子的抵抗力
gǎnmào 感冒yǒu shénme 有什么guānxi 关系wǒ 我xiāngxìn 相信wǒ 我érzi 儿子de 的dǐkànglì 抵抗力
What does that have to do with getting a cold? I think my son has resistance to getting a cold.
你说得容易每次豆豆感冒了辛苦的都是我
nǐ 你shuō 说de 得róngyì 容易měicì 每次Dòudou 豆豆gǎnmào 感冒le 了xīnkǔ 辛苦de 的dōu 都shì 是wǒ 我
It's easy for you to say that. Every time that Doudou gets a cold, I'm the one who suffers.
我知道你很累我也担心儿子被传染但是不送幼儿园谁来看孩子啊

I know that you're tired, and I'm also worried about our son catching something. However, if we don't take him to school, who is going to look after the kid?
