I'm furious, AIBU?

My DD was sick this week, had a very bad cold but high temperature all week. It hit her really hard. My DS was invited to a friend's house for a playdate. Friend had vomited on Tuesday, but I assumed by Saturday he was recovered, as he had been in school since Wednesday (only off for one day but that's another thread...). The friend's mother was aware that my DD had been poorly all week with her cold. When my DH collected my DS, it transpired (her husband told my husband) that friend's mother now had the vomiting bug but they had carried on the playdate without saying a word! She texted me ten minutes before we dropped him off and said nothing and apparently they had known at this point. According to my DS, there was no attempt to quarantine her - she was in the living room watching TV, he was directed to her ensuite to go to the toilet etc. They have a very small house, at any rate. I am beyond furious - who on earth has a playdate with an active tummy bug in the house?! I want to text her and tell her she should have told me and give me the opportunity to cancel - we could have had the playdate any week - but my DH says to leave it. Would you text?

YANBU
I would definitely send a text, something along the lines of..
'Hello, in the future could you please let me know if DS is due to come round and someone in the house is ill. As you're aware, the vomitting bug is very unpleasant and we are not looking forward to taking time off work and school when we develop symptoms of the stomach bug you more than likely have passed on. I hope you feel better soon, sillywitch'

Yes, I think I'm going to have to. Thanks for the suggestion. I just can't get over how rude that is!

Some people just don't get it. I wouldn't bother saying anything now, although I might make a point if he does get ill or before a future visit.

I wouldn't say anything now especially while she's sick, she's probably feeling terrible.

But don't do any more play dates without confirmation of health status!
