To send my 4yo to school?

[pinkstanleycup]

He was up twice in the night being sick.

He's woke up about an hour ago, running about full of energy as normal and you wouldn't know he had been up during the night.

IMO he would be lay in bed/on the sofa like he usually is when he is sick if he wasn't well. I don't want to keep him off school if it can be helped.

AIBU to think of sending him in?

It's not even been 12 hours since he was sick, it should be 48 hours.

I’m glad you’re doing the right thing and keeping him off. I know the 48 hour rule can seem tiresome when the kid appears to be fine, but like others have said, it protects the rest of the children and staff at his school.

Don't send him in, I work in a school and he will tell people. Then you'll have to come and collect him because you have knowingly send him.in unwell.

YABU massively.

A stomach bug would land my child in hospital, parents such as yourself as selfish to even consider sending.

Of course he's now fine. He's vomited up the bugs in his stomach.

Doesn't mean he isn't contagious though and wouldn't be sick again after eating.

The rules are there for a reason.

Keep him home.

This is why we can't have nice things!

Nobody wants your vomiting bugs! The rules are there for a reason.

My DS was was 5 and happily playing and eating in between vomiting episodes with norovirus. He even accused me of trying to starve him when I said he probably shouldn't have dinner 🫣 while his dad was lying there absolutely floored
