Totally prepared to be told I’m being a bit hysterical here.
DNephew is turning 4 and SIL is hosting a birthday party complete with bouncy castle at the weekend. We were looking forward to going and letting feral DD 20 months burn off some energy and seeing all the in-laws.
MIL let us know last night that DH’s cousin is coming, along with her two boys. The younger is about 10 and has chicken pox at the moment. MIL gave us a heads up that he will have the blisters but they’ll have crusted over by then, so won’t be contagious.
I’m very hesitant about going now- apart from how much of a nightmare it would be dealing with a toddler with chickenpox, we also have DS 11 weeks and I’m conscious how serious it can be for small babies.
AIBU to think that it’s a bit selfish to bring your chicken poxy dc to a child’s party where you know there will definitely be small kids there? Or am I being a bit paranoid?

AIBU to think if your child has chickenpox, the last thing you should do is take them to a pre-schooler birthday party?
