Had family over today, and all the little ones were poorly

[brilliantjustbrilliant]

We had five under fives in the house today.

They were all under the weather - streaming noses, coughs, sneezing, temperatures. All brushed off by the parents as teething or just a virus. They were all timing the calpol doses so that the kids were on fine form at the start of the day but it soon descended into them all being clearly unwell, by which point all the parents had started to have a drink and therefore had to wait for the taxis. I volunteered to take them all home in pairs but they all said no, because the kids were “fine”.

argh I’m so angry. That’s the rest of this year and the start of next written off with another bug.

I don’t understand your point.
OP says they had streaming noses, puffed eyes and were clearly unwell i.e. their lethargy was due to being ill.
OP didn’t say “the children fell asleep so must have been ill”.

The OP claims that multiple sets of parents had secretly dosed up their kids with Calpol before coming. All these parents immediately started knocking back wine in some kind of weird plot. I'm still not sure what relevance the wine has to the story. Isn't it normal to be offered a drink upon arrival? If you accept the drink, is it evidence you're plotting some kind of bio-attack upon the hosts?

I don't think the OP is a reliable narrator.

YANBU op. At the very least they should have given you advance warning so you had the choice to expose yourself or not. It’s unfair to everyone (children included) to take them somewhere when they’re clearly sick.

I hope you don’t pick it up op.

I think what some people are missing here is that it was more than one poorly child so the viral load is increased. For someone with reduced immunity that means a higher likelihood that they’ll get poorly too.

but regardless- it’s her home and her body. It’s just rude to turn up to someone’s house with a few poorly kids and then get pissed so you can’t easily get home or parent.

You have got to be joking. What utter selfish piss takers ( and that’s putting it mildly)
😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
