There were two cases of sickness yesterday. AIBU not to send my three year old DS today. I have a 10 week old as well and cannot handle the thought of any of them being Ill. I am also on my own and b/f so if I get Ill we r in a real conundrum. Advice please?

Why on earth would this be unreasonable?! Seriously?! Your kid, your choices. Keep him home. I don't get how this is even a question you need other people's Knut on...I really don't. We won't have a stronger view than you, we don't need to wipe up sick and deal with a newborn, nor do we need to keep a 3yr old busy whilst you deal with a baby. Totally your shout here.

That reply was bit unkind!! I imagine op is pretty tired at the moment with two small children on her own and wants another opinion, nothing wrong with that.
Op, Of course it's ok not to send your ds. It's not school so you do not need a proper reason to keep him off. Have a day at home together...enjoy! Smile

I agree withcoraltoes, in a slightly less full on way.

Sorry coraltoes that should have been. Glad I'm not the only one reacting to her manner of telling you...
