WIBU to leave 10 year old at home with his nan while the rest of us go to Florida?

user1482217471 · 20/12/2016 07:16

10 year old son has caught a nasty bug and he is pretty much in bed 24/7 and has been for a couple of days. He has been having lots of fluids but has the full d & v. He is ok though but no way is he ok to come away. We rarely go on big holidays but do go to somewhere in Europe every year. We are going to Orlando for Christmas I have 5 children and I think it will be really magical. He is very close to my nan and they spend a lot of time together. The last thing I want to do is leave him but I do have 4 other children that cannot wait for this holiday and I don't really know what to do. WIBU to go away with other children and leave him here with his nan?

I wouldn't leave him. Find some solution...him flying out later? This would be THE childhood event (the Home Alone type exclusion of him) that he will always remember. Just think, for the rest of his life he will have to hear from his siblings their laughter and memories of this epic family holiday. Hard situation op.

septembersunshine · 21/12/2016 17:45

user1482217471 · 22/12/2016 00:37

Lala, Mumsnet has removed the other troll hunting, it's all just hurtful. I really don't need it.

We had a fab day today. Thank you everyone SmileSmile

Dose him up and fly him out with you or one of you stay behind and take a later flight or fly him unaccompanied in a couple of days but don't leave him on his own with his man that is awful
