CM CLUB - Mindee's sibling has Chicken Pox - quick question.........

15 replies

looneytune · 12/02/2009 14:14

I have a adhoc holiday only mindee who is due to attend next week. Just been informed the sibling has Chicken Pox. Mindee has already had it so SHOULD be ok.

IMO it's ok to have mindee as long as THEY themself don't have it. Just wanted to see if everyone else thinks the same?

TIA

yup - i'd be the same, mindee may be carrier but not sure how it works! If mindee doesn't have it, let them come!

hope you're ok hun,

looneytune · 12/02/2009 14:23

Hiya mate, thanks for that. Interested in as many thoughts as possible so I can let the parent know.

I'm ok thanks, just busy, busy and now I have my inspection (yes, I've finally had THE call!). How are you? When do you start your new job? We MUST get together at some point soon! What you doing over half term? I'm thinking of doing California Country Park on either Wed, Thurs or Fri.

watching this with interest has I have a mindee too who's sibling has chicken pox.

HSMM · 12/02/2009 16:20

I would let them come (and I might come to California Country Park on Wednesday morning).

looneytune · 12/02/2009 20:25

Oh cool. What about you Saz? So far, the only ones who've replied on this thread are all people I know in RL

I spoke to my parents and made them aware of the situation and told them to watch out for any signs of it and all of them said they wouldn't mind their child getting it and said NOT to exclude if he gets it. So i would let them come. (oh yeah i might try and get to Califonia Park if it's ok with everyone else)

mumlove · 13/02/2009 07:50

I would accept mindee as you don't know if anyone at groups you go to come out with chicken pox as they are infectious before the spots appear.

I still haven't had them, even though my 2 older sisters did, some of my mindees over the last 15 yrs and my own DD (we also had 3 chicken poxs parties).

Yes please I would love to come to California Country Park on Wednesday morning. Have far away is it!!!!! Shame we didn't get to meet when you where down here.

mumlove · 13/02/2009 07:51

Have - HOW

eleanorsmum · 13/02/2009 08:10

looks like we've got a meet-up planned then!
this is the place scroll down for more details

LoveMyGirls · 13/02/2009 08:15

I would let them come too..........NOT fair I wanna come to cali park as it happens I'm far too many miles away and have 8 dc's for best part of the day anyway nevermind we will enjoy doing salt dough, painting and doing mothers day cards!

mumlove · 13/02/2009 11:24

The park is only about 77 miles away!! I do like to dream.

looneytune · 13/02/2009 12:03

LOL, mumlove, I did think it was a tad far for you. And yes, shame I couldn't meet up with you when we went camping - it was a nightmare though, terrible weather!!

Saz, HSMM & EllieM - I've started a thread inviting nannynick too. I have one or 2 nanny friend's who maybe coming too so if you want to bring anyone then great. If you want to go on Nannynick's thread, maybe put what time is good for you and we'll get organised!
