Child unwell on holiday, wwyd?

[moobar]

One holiday a year, been looking forward to it for months.

Arrived Friday, Sunday fifteen month Dd started being sick. Today was hours from a drip, dehydrated, still sick. Dh and I exhausted. No washing machine etc. Nightmare.

Anyway, we are about two and a half hours from home, booked till Friday.

Would you leave tomorrow if she improved on basis we are probably going to get it? I can't face us starting eg Thursday night. Or decide tomorrow? If go home dh family will make him work, but it's awful not being home when she's so unwell.

Do you always get sick when kids are?

I would just go home as you can’t go anywhere with her as she is contagious and it doesn’t sound like any fun.

It isn't a guarantee that you'll get poorly.
I've had children vomit on me with Norovirus and I didn't catch it, adult immune systems can be a lot stronger than children's.
I'd stick it out if she was feeling better. I hope she gets well soon/ you have a lovely holiday.

I want to go home. Doctor said no today as to sick and dangerous in car on motorway. I think tomorrow we should go if we can. I know it's not the end of the world but I'm so upset. Seem to never get a break from bad stuff happening just now (pity party here).

How disappointing for you. But these things can’t be helped. To be honest I would just drive back tomorrow. You can’t take her out anywhere as she’s contagious anyway so what’s the point in all sitting there waiting to go back home? And I would much rather be in my own home just in case I came down with it too although you might be lucky. Hope she feels better soon, perhaps you can just plan some nice days out instead when the weather is better x

Can you not go home without telling your husbands family?

Make him work? What?

Ridiculous as it is this is our one week. Family farm straight into lambing as of weekend, then that's him till back end of year.

It's a combination of fear of us being unwell here and when best to try and leave. I have bad post natal anxiety, particularly around health. I'm not feeling well at all. Really stressed, not eaten, not slept. Feel incapable of making a sensible decision.

Thank you all. Helps just to have someone to talk to.

I wouldn’t assume you’ll get sick too. She’s probably still going to feel pretty ill tomorrow so better for her to be in bed than doing a 2.5 hour drive.

I’d go home since you are so close and then claim on my travel insurance for a prorated amount back so at least you arent paying for the days you did not use.

I rarely get DCs bugs and viruses. Adult immune systems are usually more robust and we have better hand hygiene.

I totally understand about how on a family farm if you're there - you work.

If it were me I would go home when DD is well enough to travel, then DH and you can 'come down with it' too. You can have a few PJ days together.
