ds has temp today & one other little girl who was at the party is off sick from school (this mum has 4 kids & I have 5 so we're hoping it doesn't spread to our others as we both have a baby as well).

he he he at the boys mum having diarrhea now!!! lets hope it doesn't hit during the school run!!!!! her kids will never be invited again

WTF am in shock at the complete lack of thought for anyone else..... and for your poor ds,as for her ha bloody ha! god knows what she was up to but would def warn your close friends at the school gate!!!!!

true Pduck - but it's still & funny thing was he was so happy to play & had a super time.

anyhow...my ds now is sick with high temp (could be unrelated).

Saw this mum at school & she's sick!!!

CoT If your child already goes to school with him, then they have already been in contact - nothing you can do.

The poor little guy.

At 5 he knows that his mum has dumped him.

Yes I think you might have cracked it! I'll be ears tuned at school to see if I can find out what the thing was she had to go to or do.

see - I knew it!

She must have had something she really really wanted him out of the way fr to do something as silly and desparate ass send a 5 yo in a nappy!!

I'm still crossing fingers that no one will get sick......

and yes she was really dressed up! Hmmmm seems she was up to something plus she was 40mins late to pick him up.

Stunned at this!! Poor kid. Tbh it sounds like his mum just wanted to dump him for a couple of hours
Everyone healthy at your today?

is everyone OK at yours today cupsoftea ?

Bet she had some tryst to hurry off to...spread rumours at the school gate that she was looking 'very attractive' and was rushing off somewhere ina a rather secretive manner.

Does it not occur to people that if a school says 'no admission within 48 hours of diarrohea' because of the (high) chance of infection, that it might be a good idea to apply that to other very sociable occasions?

Will the stupidity and inconsiderateness of some people ever cease to amaze me, I wonder?

absolutely YANBU .

still shocked about this! - luckily dd had a great time with her friends - still crossing fingers no one gets sick....

YANBU

this is something which really makes me LIVID.. parents who only ever think of their own children, sod everyone else. Am seeing this increasingly Hope your DD and other guests don't catch anything.

just hope my kids don't get this bug.

YANBU. What a thoughtless cow, and how unfair on a) you b) other kids who might get it c) son with nappy on. Unbelievable!

ahh yes fun but Tiring+++

it was great fun - everyone had a super time. We have lots of shade so all enjoyed the swing & slide plus running about & some party games. I was happy when they all left & had a super big cup of tea!!

on a lighter note was party fun?did you enjoy

No idea scottishmummy - I only see her at school. She often stops the teacher to give suggestions for the class and things like that.

is this out of character for her? is she usually more responsible

If I see her next week I'll ask how her ds was on the way home & sunday.

i worry leaving lo with a cough, never mind diarrhoea.his mum has some front - callous disregard for other's and him

I was astonished. I asked him if he need the loo a few times. So relieved he didn't (apart from the garden weeing) plus that he didn't fill his nappy as well.

wholly irresponsible behaviour and risky to other's.poor child.sheesh what gives with some people?

when she picked him up I explained he'd drunk lots of water & hadn't had diarrhea. Wonder if he filled his nappy on the way home!!

I am gobsmacked. YANBU in the slightest.

I am absolutely horrified.

I asked if she wanted to stay but she couldn't. I was dealing with party chaos so couldn't engage in a shouldn't he go home with you now conversation.

Oh he and his mum sound wonderful

she wouldn't have left without that poor child had it been my party.

seriously, poor kid!

should be at home.

right onto leaves next to the party table!

he pee'd in the garden! OMG!

I don't know her very well - only from school.

I'm guessing you and your party were free babysitting for her! Cheeky cow!

What a really weird and irresponsible thing to do!

It was a difficult situation as she just mentioned it & he'd run off to join in.

I had some antibacterial gel that I put on everyones hands at one point (after he'd had a wee in the garden!)

I would have told her to sod off! Cheeky cow. I would be having serious words with her. How can anyone do that to a child and another parent!

It was a tummy bug as he doesn't usally wear nappies (if he had to wear nappies for other reasons I'd more than happy to deal with the situation)

YANBU!

I am speechless and the stupidity AND the assumption that you would be OK clearing up any shit!

I was quite shocked. Luckily he arrived just after the cake.

Cheeky mare. It's very catching.

if he had a tummy bug then how irresponsible. My ds had to wear nappies at four, for really bad diarrhea as he had a bowel diorder he now on medication which controls it. Are you sure he was poorly in tummy bug way? If so no way should she of took him

he arrived late as had been having a nap so she must have woken him up.

YANBU

OMG I'm completely outraged at this woman. Who on earth would do that?

So she brought a 5 yr old with a stomach upset to your party, wearing a nappy, with instructions not to feed him any of the lovely party food and she left so you'd have needed to deal with the dirty nappy and the humiliated child?

The woman is insane!

OMG that is irresponsible.i do wonder why and a n adult cant explain to a child (with the trots) that it cant go to a party .

she should have watched some dvd etc at home unreasonable to child and the others too

She did leave & didn't have any spare nappies. Was quite surprised - not sure what I would have done tbh - have some 2yr old nappies plus baby size!!

Nooooooo - she didn't leave?!?!?!?!!!?????

Oh yes - he was proud to tell the others about his yellow poo explosion earlier!!

Lucky he didn't have an accident as you were busy - so you'd have needed to deal with it? Sorry - by that do you mean she LEFT??? She did NOT leave did she, tell me I read that wrong?

gosh - didn't think of how he'd feel about this! She told me not to give him anything to eat!

And forever more known by his peers as the boy who wears a nappy and shits himself. He'll have fun on Monday.

Thought it odd - I've a lot on and just hope mine wont come down with this. He didn't have diarrhea when he was here luckily as I was busy with everything plus baby & my other kids.

OMG, i would have asked her to leave and not to be so irresponsible.

Wow. a five yr old who had an accident (in to a nappy or not) would be so humiliated if it happened at a party in front of their friends!

She did WHAT? A pull up nappy on a 5 yr old so he can come to a party? So he'd be running round with a nappy full of shit?

Are you sure he still HAD it, or he'd HAD it maybe the day before, seemed clear that day but she was just making sure?

I just cannot believe that someone would do that. Quite apart from the potential to transmit the bug to all the other kids - how humiliating for the child if he DID have an accident - nappies do not hold diarrhoea very well. I speak from messy, messy experience.

No, I wouldn't be particularly impressed. She should have told you and asked whether you were happy for him to come. PArticularly if it is bad enough for him to need a nappy on!

A mum brought her child to dd birthday party & said he had diarrhea and she'd put a pull up type nappy on him (he's 5). He wanted to come to the birthday & was unhappy he wasn't well. She only told me as she was chatting & her ds had run off to join in.

Just hope my kids & the others invited don't get sick.
