To take my ill child to Disneyland Paris?

[aperolspritzbasicbitch]

To be clear - this is not something I did!!!

I guess it's more of a wwyd, but I couldn't find that topic for some reason.

So, this hypothetical version of me has booked Disneyland Paris with my husband and two children. Leaving on a Saturday.
On the Friday, school call - 'can you collect child1, they aren't well'. Child is collected, and vomits! Still, this version of me and the rest of my family leave the house late that night as planned, child being sick along the way. Child continues to be sick, even once we've arrived. Regardless of this, we all continue along our merry way around the park the next day, I'm even arrogant enough to announce on social media that I've dragged child 1 round the park with a 40.2 degree temp!

Is it just me, or is this version of me an absolutely selfish prick?
I mean, surely I've got insurance?! Yes, disappointing all round to delay, but how much fun could it actually have been - especially for the poorly child.
Strangely, no one commenting on the post mentioned above has queried traipsing around a busy park with said sick child.

Hypothetically I could hypothetically say it's odd for one poster to appear and be effusive in their support of another poster like that
But it would be hypothetical
And the other me posting that

Hypothetically you'd be a right knobber to do that.

I just find AIBU sometimes to be a mad house. It’s like OP might post asking if she’s unreasonable to find her neighbour throwing eggs at her car shitty behaviour, and responses will go:

What kind of car? Can’t comment without that info.

Of course it’s unreasonable, anyone can see that why on earth did you bother posting?

YABU to not go round to neighbours and apologise for whatever shitty behaviour you did to deserve this.

Your grammar is awful. Did you even go to school OP?

clearly the Op is referring to somebody else - and I suppose I would have cancelled the holiday - disappointing though it would have been

Sorry to disappoint but just back from the school run, no sock puppeting has taken place, but as above - do feel free to share your concerns with admin.

Glad the post was clear enough for some of you, and that I'm not alone in thinking it was arsehole behaviour - comments on the post all brushed over the risk of the child sharing their germs.

Stumbling through thread but quitting - too many deleted posts and people more focussed on format than content. I understood what you meant - not great for the kid or for others. Still, some now go with the mantra that someone else is probably shitty enough to do it, so why shouldn't I?
If you're brave, put this post in pedants corner!!!

Anyone else come to these posts late and wonder what on earth the poster who has had every post deleted was saying? There are so many of them!!

I understood the OP. And yes, it’s clearly unreasonable to behave in the way the person you’re talking about did. Is this a friend or a celebrity?

Sorry, but I have to agree that all the "hypothetical" nonsense was weird and slightly confusing when you're clearly just talking about someone you know who has done this, not a "version of you".

I think the point is that terminally ill kids have quite enough to deal with without being infected with norovirus at Disneyland or anywhere else. Where is the sense of social responsibility here? I am appalled that anyone thinks this is ok

Yeah, I've accepted that further up thread.

Ah sorry, I missed that - all the deleted posts were rather distracting.

Essentially you are right; taking a sick and probably infectious child to a theme park is a dick move.

Unfortunately there are way too many selfish arseholes inhabiting the planet

I was once on the Gatwick Express train, on my way to Italy, and there was a mum with a girl of about 10, and a boy of about 7 across the aisle. The boy was being profusely and repeatedly sick into a carrier bag, and just looking so ill, shivering under a pile of coats.
The mum was on the phone to her doctors trying to get a prescription for something or other set to the Boots air-side.
I personally thought this poor little lad was looking far too rough to travel, but the mum seemed pretty determined.
I don't know if the airport let him through or not, but strangely, I've found myself thinking of them often.

That properly made me snort with laughter, thank you 🤣

This is some bizarre version of a reverse thread but with an alternative version of yourself that represents someone else that you know. A kind of reverse reverse threat but not quite.😂
