To be unhappy that a child with diarrhea came to the party

[cupsoftea]

A mum brought her child to dd birthday party & said he had diarrhea and she'd put a pull up type nappy on him (he's 5). He wanted to come to the birthday & was unhappy he wasn't well. She only told me as she was chatting & her ds had run off to join in.

Just hope my kids & the others invited don't get sick.

I'm guessing you and your party were free babysitting for her! Cheeky cow!

I don't know her very well - only from school.

he pee'd in the garden! OMG!

right onto leaves next to the party table!

she wouldn't have left without that poor child had it been my party.

seriously, poor kid!

should be at home.

Oh he and his mum sound wonderful

I asked if she wanted to stay but she couldn't. I was dealing with party chaos so couldn't engage in a shouldn't he go home with you now conversation.

I am gobsmacked. YANBU in the slightest.

I am absolutely horrified.

when she picked him up I explained he'd drunk lots of water & hadn't had diarrhea. Wonder if he filled his nappy on the way home!!

wholly irresponsible behaviour and risky to other's.poor child.sheesh what gives with some people?

I was astonished. I asked him if he need the loo a few times. So relieved he didn't (apart from the garden weeing) plus that he didn't fill his nappy as well.

i worry leaving lo with a cough, never mind diarrhoea.his mum has some front - callous disregard for other's and him

If I see her next week I'll ask how her ds was on the way home & sunday.

is this out of character for her? is she usually more responsible

No idea scottishmummy - I only see her at school. She often stops the teacher to give suggestions for the class and things like that.

on a lighter note was party fun?did you enjoy

it was great fun - everyone had a super time. We have lots of shade so all enjoyed the swing & slide plus running about & some party games. I was happy when they all left & had a super big cup of tea!!

ahh yes fun but Tiring+++

YANBU. What a thoughtless cow, and how unfair on a) you b) other kids who might get it c) son with nappy on. Unbelievable!

just hope my kids don't get this bug.

this is something which really makes me LIVID.. parents who only ever think of their own children, sod everyone else. Am seeing this increasingly Hope your DD and other guests don't catch anything.

YANBU

still shocked about this! - luckily dd had a great time with her friends - still crossing fingers no one gets sick....

absolutely YANBU .

Does it not occur to people that if a school says 'no admission within 48 hours of diarrohea' because of the (high) chance of infection, that it might be a good idea to apply that to other very sociable occasions?

Will the stupidity and inconsiderateness of some people ever cease to amaze me, I wonder?
