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?

Ah op I'm so happy for you!
I don't know why people feel the need to be shitty to you. My first thought on reading your post was fuck how awful for you. I have 3 dc and at this time of year, between them one of them is always ill. It's so hard.
I would have felt just as torn as you.
I'm so glad it worked out and I hope you have a fantastic Christmas

It's a shame you can't edit the title in big shouty caps for those who don't rtft!

I'm so pleased it all worked out.

MumOfTwoMasterOfNone · 22/12/2016 09:51

Have an amazing time and I hope everyone stays well. Huge Flowers for your mum too and super clever thinking about a business class upgrade so DS could sleep. Really pleased to hear all was well on the flight.

Wishing you the most lovely of Christmases.
