To Send ILL toddler DD on holiday

[TiredHippo]

Changed user name as don't want anyone knowing me from my other posts. My Ex BF is supposed to be taking my DD on holiday today, the flight is in the afternoon (3:00ish) but she's just woken up hot to the touch and thrown up, gave her Capol but threw it straight up. I phoned to let him know, and his attitude, to be honest, has angered me so much. I get from his tone, that he still wants to take her away with him. It's for a week away, and I'm not happy that he expects a toddler, who has just thrown up, with a temperature and is boiling hot to the touch to be able to get to the airport (1.5-2 hrs away, depending on traffic) to then go through the rigmarole of going through the airport, to then spend 4 hours on a flight. I said I didn't want her going through all that, but he said to.....stick a cold towel underneath her and see how she feels later. I get his frustration, I really do, as nobody wants their plans to change, especially when you've all been looking forward to go, but would IBU to insist I don't think she's well enough to go gievn the circumstances. Please be kind, I've got an ILL toddler at the moment.

Given your ex is already with someone else and the child you have him is a toddler - I am guessing the breakdown of relationship was recent and far from amicable.

This will almost certainly not be the first and absolutely definitely not the last event of this little girls life blighted by drama and arguments and anger - all perpetuated by her parents. My heart goes out to her

I have 3 grown up children (for all the ones mentioning older kids on here, like you’re some sort of naive new mum) & no fucking way would I take a vomiting child with a temperature on a plane. a) the kids sickness bugs nearly always spread to at least one other family member (all of us when it was noro), even in a house where we could try & keep people separate and b) if she’s going abroad you don’t know at the moment whether it’s a mild vomiting bug or something more serious. Yes 99% of the time it’s just a mild vomiting bug, but not always & I’d want to be confident it wasn’t something more serious before going abroad.

If she’s projectile vomiting as they get on the plane they won’t be allowed on anyway.

if there is anyway that you can delay a few hours - maybe offer to bring her to the airport yourself if she clearly perks up, then that would be good as by then you’ll have a better idea how she is. Maybe your ex will come to his senses once he has got over the disappointment.

Oh I’m a day late 😀What happened OP?

And you would find that this absolute pile of horse sh!t, that you conjured up in your head, was completely inaccurate had you actually bothered to read the thread… or even just the comments made by the OP.

projecting much?
