You should never see this if you have a host check that properly  
determines the state of the host. When the service returns a non-OK  
state, the host is checked immediately up to max_check_attempts. No  
service checks occur during this time. If the host is found to be  
down, all service notifications are suppressed until the host  
recovers. The Notifications documentation is more thorough on this.

Are you sure that you have your parents directives set up properly?  
Are the service notifications for the services on the host that is  
down or child hosts?
