Am I being unreasonable here - sick child

[SometimesItRains]

We are staying in a group of holiday cottages for in laws birthday party. One child was sick Friday night, yesterday morning and yesterday night. In between its parents and grandparents keep bringing him into the joint area with everyone else. My eldest has now been violently sick for the past hour. I go downstairs in a break from it to get a glass of water and find said child eating cake at the table with his grandmother. I mentioned politely that my son was now I'll and that perhaps her grandson should go back to his own cottage away from the other people. She stropped off with him. I am left feeling like the bad guy. Was I being unreasonable? I just want to avoid the spread to my other child and my two nieces.

Never ceases to amaze me are these people thick or just blatantly brazen.

It is not 'just a sickness bug' though, these illnesses can cause huge harm

In 2012 my dd was unwell at first with a throat infection, a week or so later a sickness bug. Not long after that she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes which her consultant said was probably due to a virus and was caused by either the throat infection or sickness bug as a virus can often trigger type 1

Also, a sickness bug could now land her straight in hospital as sickness bugs+ diabetes don't mix. Anybody else with a compromised immune system or other health conditions can be made seriously unwell if they catch something like this, even without pre existing conditions for the very young, elderly or pregnant women a bug can be really nasty

The 48 hr rule is there for a good reason. My ds2 vomited the other day, just the once and was fine after but to be on the safe side he was kept completely away from my other dcs and we cancelled our appt we had the following day. He seemed fine and so far nobody else has been ill but you just don't know and I would not want to responsible for somebody else getting ill

Yanbu remotely. I HATE HATE HATE sick and I would be absolutely fuming. Fucking idiotic morons. How unpleasant for the poor child, to be carted around feeling queasy. And poor your child for being ill on holiday due to the selfish actions of others.

I hope both kids are better soon and I hope the twats get sick themselves. *wanders away, shaking my head, muttering expletives under my breath about stupid divs like that**

YANBU, OP

It was very selfish behaviour

YANBU. The sick child should absolutely have been quarantined. Didn't you ask the parents/GPs to take them away from public areas?

I am PHOBIC about sick and just wouldn't have been able to relax. I would also have quarantined my dc if they had a bug on holiday. Not fair to everyone else, esp. if they have other illnesses/are immuno-compromised.

YANBU.

Shame there are the exact people on this thread that demonstrates the idiocy and selfishness of some parents when they have a sick child.

Why should everyone else's holiday be ruined because 1 child is sick and the adults in charge refuse to keep him away from everyone else!

Well just to update, after DS1 got it, DS2 was ill and then in the night MIL, FIL and I. We are all a bit cross and the family with sick child has slunk off home without saying goodbye. To make matters worse, it is FIL's birthday today and he has spent it all in bed feeling rotten. I think common courtesy would have been to apologise for spreading it around. I would have done that even if I had taken all measures I could to prevent infection of others.

Oh at its was an attempt at anonymity, but I obviously forgot that a moment later in the sentence. I only really came on to vent my frustrations. Thanks for mostly agreeing though.
