To tell sick son he can’t come over?

My 20 year old son is in university about half an hour away from my house, he has his own apartment there, he moved out at the start of the summer. He’s been doing a placement near us and has just messaged to say he’s getting a taxi over to mine as it’s closest because he’s started throwing up uncontrollably..

Its a week before Christmas, I’ve still got loads to do, we’re a house of 6 people including two small children and to be frank I don’t want a stomach bug coming in at this point. Would I be the worst mum in the world to tell him to go home instead???

Let us know in 48 hours if you come down with anything. Fingers crossed for you!

Well it’s been 3 days & 2 nights. He just left to go home feeling fit as a fiddle and with a carrier full of supplies and groceries, and so far the household seems fine! Just washing all the bedding from, and sanitising youngests bedroom. Me and DH are looking forward to a decent sleep tonight, 4 year olds are really not the best people to share a bed with and we’re shattered now 😂

Thanks again for the advice and hope everyone has a lovely Christmas x
