We're all on holidays this week and are due to visit my family in south Wales. Both DS and I are ill. I'm smothering with cold, feel awful but am OK when dosed up with lemsip or similar. Poor DS isn't really himself at all. He is quiet, clingy and feels quite hot. He has a rash on his tummy and back and generally isn't right. It hasn't stopped him eating chocolate or playing today. It took ages to get him off to sleep tonight and he has had 2 bouts of uncontrollable tears, which is not like him at all.
I've spoken with my mother this evening, who was quite off with me when I mentioned that we were feeling ill. She told me that we'd be ill wherever we were so we might as well travel. I then rang my father who told me that it wasn't fair to travel with DS if he is ill and told me to make a decision in the morning.
Until the conversation with my parents I hadn't really considered not going to visit them. I haven't packed and quite honestly I can't be bothered as I feel so rubbish. I am pretty sure that DS would prefer not to sit in the car for 3 hours. DH would definitely be happy not to go. If we don't go my mother will be miffed. She has a chest infection as well.
DS is 17 months old. What would you do?
