Move flights due to chicken pox

Checking if anyone has been in this situation.
We are due to go on holidays next Tuesday to see my elderly parents. My toddler has all her friends from nursery at home recovering from chickenpox and I am most certain that soon she will have the first blisters coming out.
My partner doesn't agree in delaying our holidays as she has no blisters yet (can still happen over this weekend) and I would prefer to go when this is over as my parents never had chicken pox and it's really dangerous for them to have it now apparently. Also if my DD gets badly ill there which kind of enjoyment will we have during two weeks in a sunny country?
AIBU for wanting to move the holidays because of this? I know the incubation period can take up to 21 days but last week one by one of her friends came up with blisters and mine still hasn't got any. Also we won't be able to fly back if she has blisters all over her face, it's not allowed.

You shouldn't be getting on a flight.

Delay until when?
Delay a week, no, I wouldn't bother.
Delay 3 months, go for it.

I'd look into getting the vaccine, not sure but think you can take after you're already exposed. You're still supposed to shield from vulnerable people for a week after i think though so depends if this Tuesday or next
