Do you send your dc to the nrp when sick?

Do or would you send your dc to their nrp if they're unwell? Are there times when you may send them, such as if they had a cold but not if they have a fever? And in cases where dc is too young to say if they feel too unwell and just want their bed what do you do?

Depends how unwell.
Cough and cold - yes.
Sickness/diarrhoea - unlikely. They probably wouldn't want to go anyway.
If they just wanted to stay in bed I would let them. Unless I needed to be at work which would complicate matters slightly.

None if this is an issue for me anymore as DC are teens and I'm not working atm.

I think a cold is fine to send to NRP as usual but anything else like D&V or fever is a stay home with RP situation.

Right now, a cough would also be on my list of "stay with RP" situations unless a negative covid test had been had or it was part of a cold.

On those occasions its more about preventing spread of illness than anything else. Especially if there are kids or vulnerable people at NRP. Also, my DD wants me and her bed when she's ill. She wouldn't CHOOSE to go elsewhere

Cold and general unwell then yes I send them. In the past a mild cough would have been ok , for obvious reasons any temperature and cough is an outright no at the moment.

D and V no never.

I think you know your own DC well enough to se if they are too unwell. I've said no to exdh once when ds2 only had a cold but he felt so rotten he needed to be snuggled in his own bed (and shares a room with ds1 and exdh when he stays there so he needed peace and quiet ).

Colds or being a bit 'meh' sort of unwell then yes. Anything else, no.

However, I have to work every Sunday so I would be open to exH hanging out at my house if one/both had D&V or fever for example and didn't want to go out.

As for covid, absolutely not. Its not worth the risk. DD12 is currently isolating due to close contact at school having a positive test so she didn't go to her dads weekend just gone but DS10 did. He lives with his parents who are over 70.

A wee cold then yes, but D&V or shivering fever then they stay home.

My dc has been having severe allergic reactions, one meant calling out an ambulance due to breathing difficulties, following this there were more reactions and a fever so hence I felt it wasn't right to have dc travel 90minutes after having been up the night before, exp response is dc needs to learn he can take care of them too while ill. Dc is only 2.
