a friend brought sick child to play

[idontknowwhattodonnnnnn]

A friend brought her child to play today. The child had a high temp and had vomited this morning she didn't mention it till they were going home 2 hours later

Very selfish in my opinion, shouldnt have brought her child where there is a possibility of infecting other unsuspecting people.

I think that's a bit rude. It would have been better to call you this morning and ask if you wanted to postpone.

When friends' children are ill, I usually say it's okay to bring them anyway (DS is just as likely to come into contact with these bugs at the park or at the shops and he does love to play with his friends. But sometimes, e.g. if we are planning something special over the next few days, I do prefer to rearrange playtimes if I think his friends are dripping with bugs.

Are you worried? If the child was well enough for you not to notice the illness yourself they're probably not that sick. I wouldn't worry about it.

Are you wanting opinion on your friend? Thoughtless. Sorry.

Shame that.

This is an outrage of epic proportions. Are you going to sue?

This happened to me once - poorly child slept on sofa all through an NCT get together - mother said she could not get him to take calpol - I managed to get some down him. He really was very poorly but she could not leave as waiting for her DH to pick her up.

Two days later my normally healthy DD was admitted to hospital with a mysterious virus which settled in her hip joint and she couldn't walk. I have always been convinced she caught the virus from the poorly child.

Just annoyed she didn't ask first as have important interview on Monday

Thank you not over reacting just not something I would do

I think it's quite shabby behaviour and unfair to both children.

do you think i should say something

This happened to me once. A friend came round with her 2 girls who were extremely grumpy and then emailed me when she got home to say she'd been to the doctors and they had a virus. I was so annoyed.

If you are going to do this then you mustn't tell. Even if the child says that they were sick then just laugh it off 'telling stories again!'

Lovely! Poor little thing.

Colds and vague viruses in not very ill DC are ok, especially if accompanying healthy siblings.

But children who have been sick are not.
DH doesn't do children being sick and he tends to get D without the V, that makes him even grumpier.

I don't terribly mind being sick or cleaning up after sick DDs, but I do mind both at once.

thanks guys thought i was being overprotective and agree colds etc ok but not vomiting

colds are fine but being sick is not.
