Yes you would be very unreasonable. Would you be comfortable with the risk of infecting a pregnant woman and her child having serious birth defects?

Yes

Of course you are. And you know it.

Very unreasonable. I'm pregnant and haven't had chicken pox. Your actions could have serious consequences.

My son had chicken pox over Christmas. It ruined nearly all of all plans but that's just how it is I'm afraid.

Day 7 is normally past the contagious stage
5 days is the exclusion period for schools etc

Massive no no, I'm afraid. The consequences of you wanting to get out the house rather than wait a few more days could be devastating to someone else...

I can't believe you need to ask to be honest!

Yes, it would be unreasonable. Just tough it out.

If they aren't scabbed over then yes you would be unreasonable!

Until the spots are all scabbed over I wouldn't go out in a public place. It's not worth the risk.

Very unreasonable. It can have serious consequences for immunocompromised children. My healthy child ended up on a drip in hospital.

Very unreasonable. It would be irresponsible and selfish as you could infect someone who is immunocompromised with serious consequences.

It's a pita to have to stay in, but you know that's what you have to do until both children are not infectious.

My friend has a compromised immune system. Your need to be outside could kill her. As long as you're fine with this.

Just don't do where my cousin on her last lap of chemo is please.

Fair enough - sort of thought that's what you'd all say.

They should open a 'infected kids' playground for the holidays!

Any ideas of what I can with him?! Literally have exhausted all my resources over the last 7 days.

Ywbu sorry.

Can cause deafness and blindness in unborn babies

Don't risk it -

Sigh. Yes of course.

Do cost me five weeks earnings as happened last time I got chicken pox, again, with a compromised immune system, after all the poor child's bored.

Day 7 is normally past the contagious stage 5 days is the exclusion period for schools etc

Have never heard of this

NHS advice is until all spots have scabbed over.

OP sorry you are bored but that's life I'm afraid.

Yes you would bu.

Schools ask for all pox to be crusted over, says on NHS website the same also. My daughter unfortunately had to miss a whole week of school last term due to chicken pox. Had to cancel her birthday party and lots of other plans over the half term a week and a half later as dd2 came down with it.

Sorry, cross post OP. It's a bit of a sensitive issue for obvious reasons.

Yes. You would be risking other people's health!

Yabu. They have the rest of their lives to go out to busy places. Don't put others at risk for the sake of a few days stuck in bored.

Totally U until every spot has scabbed. But the fact you've posted suggets you know that.

Sorry, hope your LO is better soon and the cabin fever abates!
