Would you raise an eyebrow? Can’t work as teenager sick

Lovely sunny day (destined to be busy) at a visitor attraction and a key team member (head chef) phoned to say they couldn’t come in as their child had a migraine (16 in a couple of months).

Child is not neuro diverse and no other issues raised about their physical/mental health (which appears otherwise good).

Would you raise an eyebrow?

Severe migraine can be so bad you worry that the person is dying, I don’t blame the parent for not leaving their child alone in that state.

Migranes are absolutely horrendous and I wouldn't leave anyone alone with one.

If it was a cold or something I would think they were taking the piss.

Are you their manager?

I wondered that.

My dd has had migraines that were so bad that I wouldn’t leave her alone.

As a parent of a teenage migraine sufferer, no. When DD is having a full blown attack she can’t do anything for herself or even move out of bed to be honest. I need to be there getting drinks, medication, ice packs etc

No because my teenager has hemiplegic migraines and they are horrendous
