To go out if DC has stomach flu

[teoma]

One of my children has stomach flu. She’s been vomiting and is more droopy than normal but the doctor said she should be fine within a few days. Quite unfortunately, that coincided with the visit of an old uni friend who’s in town for one night only. We’ve had drinks booked for over 2 months. My partner is happy to stay home and look after the children. I will be around 30 mins away from home. AIBU not to cancel on my friend?

Yeah my niece visited recently- her and her child had both had a stomach bug but were now fine- her DP however was feeling a bit dodgy but came anyway. He went down with it later that day followed by my DD a few days later ( who had spent more time with them than DH and I) 2 months later she is still suffering- she has IBS and Fibro and it really buggered up her system.

No problem leaving your child with DP though- he is also her parent and should be perfectly capable of looking after his own child.

Perhaps you aren't infectious but I would still mention it to your friend so she at least has the choice.
