My daughter is 3 and her sister (DHs older child) is 9.
She is due with us tomorrow night until next Wednesday. Earlier today DSD text DH to say she's not well, felt sweaty, had a headache along with a chesty sounding cough and felt sick.
Ideally I'd have preferred DSD to stay at his mum's but appreciate that's probably unreasonable, so she's coming as normal for now, but I have said to DH I'd prefer it if she and DD were kept away from each other somewhat, so basically not playing, hugging, play fighting with one another type thing.
In practice this shouldn't even be that difficult seen as I have plans with DD this weekend with my friend and then she's in nursery all week next week anyway.
The only difficulty is the evenings. They do get on so well and she's great with her, they cuddle a lot and play together etc often when she's here. I'd prefer it if we asked that they not do this just whilst she's so poorly (She's really not in a good way apparently). DH thinks I'm unreasonable.
Some background info... DD tends to really struggle when she's unwell and has been admitted to hospital on multiple occasions with things that to lots of others are mild illnesses. She doesn't do well at all a lot of the time when she's poorly so I'd like to avoid any illness if possible. I appreciate I can't do this totally and I don't try to completely avoid everything but this seems like something we could POTENTIALLY prevent by limiting contact if we can.
So what say you MN? I know there is potential for DH to get it anyway and then pass to us blah blah but IF we can even potentially prevent her getting ill I'd like to. And yes I'd feel the same if it were my own child and not DSD!
