Chicken pox in school hols - anyone else?

[flower277]

Is there some kind of weird rule that my kids must get it in school holidays?! My DS who is 5 has got them, DD15 had them in May half term when she was little… oh well at least the weather is crap 😂 it’d be worse if it was a scorcher!

Anyone else’s child got them?

I'm kind of expecting it to happen. DS2 started with it 10 days ago, he's pretty much fine now but I'm just waiting for DS1 to come out in it - 2-3 week incubation period usually! We're supposed to be visiting my parents and my sister and family are coming over from overseas, so we'll miss all of them if he does get it.

Yep my 2 year old. She's not school age but I'm a teacher so it's messed up my Easter plans. I swear she's ill every holiday 😭

As predicted, DS1 came out in spots the morning after I posted this. Poor lad is absolutely covered in them and very sad today

Yep. My 4 year old had it last week, my 1 year old has it now. It’s the pits.
