My teenage son has had a b ad bout of tonsilitis since Monday with raging temps and was given antibiotics on Monday evening. Has then felt a lot better by Thursday lunchtime but most physical thing he has done is wash dishes 3 times in one day (only 2 of us in household so not a lot of dishes). He was off school the whole week but now wants to round to his friends house (his friend has two brothers 3 and 7) tonight to watch boxing match at 4am tom morning. He I also wants to go to his girlfriend's house tomorrow - last saw (and kissing) her last Friday which is within incubation period timeframe.
I have said no as was brought up to believe if you aren't fit enough to go to school during week you're not fit enough to play at weekends whivh I think is a good work/play ethic. Also I have had to take Annual Leave to be nursemaid and can't afford any more time off if this recurs again in near future. I think returning to school on Monday will be early enough.
Past - as a child he had tonsilitis 4-5 times each year until at 4.5 yrs old he had glandular fever. This is the first he has had this since then.
Is this reasonable or not?
