To send DD in despite sickness?

Message sent home from DD’s preschool earlier this week saying there’s a sickness bug going around, reminding about 48 hour rule etc. Currently sat up with DD who has most definitely got that lovely bug as of tonight; fun times!

She’s not due in preschool again until Thursday, but this will not technically be 48hours clear. In theory I should keep her off. However…it is her very LAST DAY of preschool before she goes off to school next term, there’s a leavers party etc. If I don’t send her in, she will miss the whole experience and be totally heartbroken (as will I to be honest!).

I am usually a real stickler for following the 48h rules, but AIBU to consider breaking them in this case?! 🫣

It's less than 48 hours so 0bvs YABU
Think about it from other families point of view- if your child caught the vomiting bug from a child just before you're due die to go on holiday & plans are cancelled would you be p**d off with the parents who decided to selfishly send their child in ill? If the answer is yes ........
