To let parents come and stay ? Quick advice needed !

[greenfooted]

DC1 was sick ten days ago and then again two days later. Cuddly and sleepy but then seemed fine a few hours later. DH has had four days of upset stomach (off work but he’s a bit wet when it comes to illness) but seems better. DC 2 has just been so ck everywhere. No temp and cuddled up with me now. So far I’ve been ok. My parents are due down today for a week as we have a weeks holiday and we’re planning some relaxing time/work in the house/day trips. I’ll speak to them when they wake but I think I should put them off. They’re fit and healthy but in their 70’s and this bug seems to have a long incubation. Gutted as I’m heavily pregnant and would love to see them and some help, but I’d hate to make them ill

Tell them what's in your post and let them decide

When DCs are sick we often avoid my parents for the 1st 24 hours but when I have been ill they have come round to help with the smallest DC

So far we have avoided sharing the worst of the bugs

I agree with you, no sense risking others getting ill if it can be avoided, sorry OP and hope you manage escape the bug yourself

Not worth the risk. If the down for a week, can the stay somewhere else for the first few days? See how things go??

Bugs survive in the environment for a couple of days up to a week dependant on cause. You need to tell your parents and let them decide. I wouldn’t go anywhere near you as sick bugs make me very ill and I get close to losing consciousness. They need to decide. Not you.

Thanks all I know my mum will be gutted not to come down as she’s really been looking forward to it, so I know will look to me to decide. Not much flex on arrangements as they’re 5 hours away and tickets have been bought, no where else to stay locally. To be honest if DH hadn’t been so I’ll for so long we might have risked it, as DC2 seems fine at the moment
