in not sending DD to nursery this Friday?

[ihaveadream14]

Just that really. Nursery contacted yesterday to say cases of norovirus are high in the nursery. Lots of cases of staff and children poorly with it.

Do I send DD2 in on Friday? I'm extremely anxious about vomit, sickness and suffer with emetophobia and since getting that message, my mind has been in overdrive. I hate it when DD's ill and I really struggle if she's ever sick. I'm not working as I'm on maternity leave so could look after her but I feel bad by keeping her home as we'll
lose out on £54 as we have to pay even if the children are absent and she absolutely loves going. What would you do?

The £54 is a sink cost, you have to pay it whether she goes in or not so shouldn't be a factor in your decision. I'd keep her home.

*sunk cost not sink! Stupid autocorrect

If I didn't have to I would avoid Noro. Honestly never felt so poorly as when I had it a few years ago

Keep her home. My 5 year old niece has it at the moment and has been in hospital for 3 days on a drip. She’s not kept anything down for over 2 weeks. It’s a nasty virus.
