To let DD stay off school so she can buy an ice cream?

[RainbowOfChaos]

DH told DD (7) she could have an ice cream at the weekend after she rode up the hill to our town for the first time without stopping. She didn't eat it as wasn't hungry. DH gave her money to buy an ice cream on Tuesday evening.
Wednesday pm we were out in the heat all afternoon then she had football training until 6. In the car in the way home she drank .75l of water. As soon as we got in, she threw up the water. Kept her home yesterday, fine except she complained once just before dinner that her tummy felt weird, she felt sick and only ate some cucumber and a slice of bread, wasn't actually sick. She's past the 24 hour quarantine and seems perfectly fine this morning. She said she's too ill to go to school, but that I should pack the cool bag for the shopping and she'll bring her money
I have a history of dislike (atrocious treatment of my elder DC with SN) with the teacher she has today, who is not her class teacher.
Send her in or let her buy her ice cream?

It would be interesting to see how many teachers agree with the idea of having the day off for ice-cream.

OP, you should have added lighthearted to your title

Did you do it, OP?

And guess who we met in the supermarket.....her class teacher 🤦‍♀️😂 " hello Mrs Chaos! How is DD today?" Me looking at DD chasing projected balloons in the toy aisle "ummm she seems a bit better!" She turned around, laughed and asked what the matter was. When I said she'd thrown up on Wed pm and complained Thursday pm of a weird tummy, teacher said I'd done the right thing to let her rest and that there is a bug going round. Didn't mention the ice cream and thankfully neither did DD

I'm feeling rebellious, I'm meant to go into hospital soon and we had a nice morning together

I'm usually very strict on attendance so I don't know what came over me today.
For the questions :
It's not easier to run errands with her, she's a pain to get to walk around town any faster than a snail.

Friday teacher and DS has been dealt with - they juggled TA's around so he is never unaccompanied in her class and she has been 'offered' and accepted early retirement and is leaving at the end of this term.

Schools have finished at lunchtime on Fridays for years here (Scotland), so it isn’t news - it’s standard.

Not where I live in Scotland

Me neither. Surprised to hear it was common in decades ago too. But, every region surrounding us does it.

YANBU OP! Sometimes you just need a day off even if especially if you are 7.

Couldn't really get worked up over a seven year old taking an extra day off after being unwell.

DS' school has a 48h rule, he has a bit of an upset tummy one day and they didnt bother to call me or send him home, but send texts and emails telling me to keep him off for two days. Was fine on day one and we went out for lunch and an ice cream.

And I'm in Scotland, school has never finished at midday in my area.

You sound like a nice mum Rainbow. A bit of gentle rebellion is not always a bad thing. YANBU.
