My 2 children (6mths and 2yr old) were unknowingly exposed to chickenpox last weekend. We're due to go on a family hol in this country with DH's larger family in less than a fortnight - exactly when the chickenpox will be at its most contagious but probably just before they'd break out in spots and I knew for sure that they had it. 2 little kids who are also due to be on the hol (2 and 5 year olds) haven't yet had chickenpox according to their mum when I called her today to discuss. She honestly didn't know what to say about the whole thing and whether she'd be ok to let her kids get it or not. We left it so that she could have a think about it. I said we'd pull out of holiday but she's far too polite to take me up on that.
My kids might not actually have it so it could all just be a fuss over nothing. We won't know if they have got it until after we get there because of this long incubation period. If they did come out in spots I would insist on returning home straightaway.
I know my DH will not be happy to pull out of the holiday (men can be v inconsiderate about these kind of things) and would say I'm causing a fuss. Would I BU to insist on pulling out now or leave it to these kids' mother to say something further? The hol's not for another week and half yet.
Thanks
