Play dates and colds?

[Squeakybubbles26]

Ok, so planned a play date last week and friend came round with both her children one of which has a stinking cough/cold.

Fast forward a few days and my children now have a stinking cough/cold. Not saying her child defiantly passed it on however highly likely as we hadn't been anywhere else that possibly could of.

AIBU to think would you let the person you are visiting aware that your child has a cough/cold before you visit so they can make the decision to whether go through with the play date or rearrange.

I know it's only a cold however if you can prevent illness within the family I would where possible!
So yes I would of rearranged because my week has been totally messed up, my girls have been rotten, sleeps been affected, Plans have had to be rearranged because yes my children have been un well! And to be fair her child probably would of wanted some quiet time if they felt rotten!

So would you tell others if your children were unwell or think I'm being unreasonable to even think like this!

I warn my pals when my son is ill and let them decide. Your friend should have let you know, YANBU

Yes, always polite to check first. To be fair when you have small children the answer is often: "We have a cold too so don't worry about it"! I had one child who had bad bronchiolitis after every cold and I always avoided if I could.

Still, not as bad form as stomach bugs which make me really angry when people pass those on!

Thanks for the replies and glad you both think I'm not being unreasonable.

I agree with the stomach bugs, it's not fair on everyone else and there's a reason at theres a 48 hour policy.

Having a baby with a cold is no fun 😥
