So how many days was your DC back at school before they got a cold?

[Crunchymum]

4 days for us.

Was hoping now they're in year 6 we'd last a little longer before getting ill.

So far it's just one DC but I have a tickly throat.

It took 2 days for me.

7 days in and everyone is healthy. Also, no sign of any nits.

We have been blessed!

(Or it's the calm before the storm and we're about to get Noro, worms and nits all at the same time.)

Minus three days for my 17 year old somehow!

2 weeks and all good so far

ONE DAY!! (nursery age)

I do realise though that actually, that’s probably too quick to have actually caught it at nursery and it may have been brewing before that.

but still, one day back in childcare and a cough/snotty nose starting sums life up doesn’t it 😂

4 days for the 11 year old. 7 for the 6 year old. Middle one never gets ill!

2 days for my 15 year old, I thought I’d escaped it but have a really sore throat tonight…….

DD woke up with one on Day 3! Luckily a very short lived affair.

2 days, now I’ve got it

I’m not tempting fate ….

I work in a school, been back 1 week and got the sniffles and a sore throat starting today.

NuffSaidSam

we once got nits a bug and chicken pox one after the other, I swear the school thought we were making it up!!!

Dc1 lasted 2 days, Dc4 lasted 4 days. My other 2 dc ok so far. I work in a school & lasted 4 days, cold already.

Actually it was nearly 3 weeks, but once it took hold it was grim, poor ds.

Not a cold but reception aged child got a fever yesterday after being in 2 half days and 5 full days. Not sure if that’s normal.

2 days in and the boys had a bug, being sick for 2 days!! They ended up taking 4 days off.

3 days for dc2, dc3 still OK. I started 5 days. They're in 6th form now so hopefully not too many more years of illness!

Sorry to hear about all the poorly children (and parents! And staff!)

Hoping everyone has a restful weekend.

I work in a school and neither me or my children have had a cold for over 18 months. I put it down to having a good gut microbiome from not eating UPF.

I don’t eat UPF and I have a cold.

2 days. Year 12 🤦‍♀️ It’s been a heavy one too poor thing.

i think it’s been 7 days

Oh about 12 minutes... 🤦‍♀️

Seven days, whereupon he turned into a croaky-voiced human snot explosion, and promptly gave it to me.

2 days for DS2, 5 days for DS1 and 7 days for me. And if course I'm the one has it the worst! 😭 🤧 Somehow DH has escaped....yet again....
