We were due to go out to a wedding reception tonight but on Thursday evening dc3 (2) started with diarrhoea. Other than school runs yesterday (which I had to do as no be else to do them) we stayed in, as I always do with such illnesses. Dc3 was fine all day, no sickness and no more diarrhoea so thought they would be able to go to my parents as planned and we coud go out.
Fast forward to this morning and dh gets dc3 out of her cot and at some point during the night she had been a little bit sick, then I took her nappy off and she had a little diarrhoea in it, then she used the toilet and had diarrhoea. I phoned dh at this point (he had left for work) and told him that as she clearly has a bug I couldn't send her to my parents so we couldn't go tonight. He got a bit and asked if I took dd round to my parents yesterday, I hadn't and after 7 years (ds1 is 7) he should know I am very strict about passing germs around so will not take the children out unless absolutely necessary when they have bugs (school run only normally). I have phoned my parents to let them know and while I think if I had been desperate to go they would have had them, it would have been under duress, and they are both not in great health themselves an I think it would be UR to ask them to. I feel dh thinks I am being over protective and UR not to wait and see how dd is later, but even if she has stopped with the diarrhoea she would still be contagious. So, although I won't be changing the arrangements as my parents have hospital appointments this week that they will not want to cancel and are off on holiday next weekend I just wondered if I was being unreasonable?
