To tell my sister her dcs cant come to my dds party?

[Lollyheart]

because her youngest dc has hand foot and month?

He came out with the spots yesterday, were going to the cinema so he won't actully be there, it's the older two that are invited.
Aibu to say they can't come now incase they are contagious?

Month mouth

It's hardly a life threatening ailment is it?

don't you have a plastic bubble for such an emergency?

Well my 3 year old had it 2 weeks ago and my older DD (7) didn't catch it until after little DDs spots came out....but it's not USUALLY older kids who catch it....it's mostly under 3s...but that''s not to say your DC won't.

Its awful and to be honest if I were your sister, I wouldn't take my risky kids to a party.

mrbloom it is a HORRBLE illness! My DC were both crying with mmouths FULL of sores. COuld not eat or sleep for three days...not nice at ALL.

Actually I don't think YABU, but then I had a m/c caused by contracting hand/foot/mouth from a child at a party - should have stayed in a bubble I suppose.

YANBU, they shouldn't be at the party.

But I would offer to make it up to the older children by taking them to the cinema another time when you can be sure they are not contagious.

Yes good point, you never know if any of the other parents of the other children may be pregnant. infectious people should be avoiding infecting others, it's only fair.

Oh, well my daughter's must have been a mild attack then. She only got one black blister on the side of her tongue and a couple on the inside of her cheeks. She also hand a blister on her foot.

Okay, maybe I was a bit bitchy in that first response. h/f/m can cause miscarriages aswell, so I wouldn't take them to a cinema full of people if they've caught it aswell.

I think you're being fair enough. Is your sister the understanding type?

Totally agree with you OP, my two DDs (4 and 1) have it at the moment and it's horrible, not to mention dangerous in certain circumstances.
This is not a 'pfb' post but some of the glib replies above are the reasons that viruses like these are rampant at the moment.

YANBU. Hopefully you won't have to tell her anyway because her dc are probably feeling quite poorly with it anyway

Yanbu

Thankfully she understood, I felt quilty after I told her so thought I would put it to you lot
I will make it up to them
