Boxing Day was today. So did your g’daughter visit you today with temp & vomiting or her mother (your daughter)? When are you planning on seeing your mother?

Refuse to have them visit. Go and see your mum instead.

Hasn’t Boxing Day already happened? I’m confused.

It's personal choice and how many days in between.
Generally it's 3-5 days from exposure would say temp and vomiting is more signs of other illnesses in children then covid!
Most I have known are either symptomless a flash temp (less then a day) or a runny nose. With omicron it's also mild. Runny nose, headache and sore throat being the most reported symptoms.

It’s very selfish of your DD to put you in this position. Why does she need to visit today? Could you lock the door and not let her in? Seems a shame for your elderly mother to miss out on your visit.

If they've been I wouldn't visit mum.

Yup, visited, sick bowl in hand (complicated relationship, Dd husband has no regard for anyone else, very difficult relationships all round), say they did LFT (and all negative, but sadly I don't believe them... long history of deceit all through first lockdown), have left now, but now feel visit to dgm is a risky idea

To visit anyone sick bowl in hand is grim. Surprised you let them in! Yes would avoid any further spreading for sure.

Vomiting bug isn't much fun, COVD or no COVID. Shouldn't be going anywhere for 48 hours

SuffolkDreams · 26/12/2021 20:33

I think there is a tummy bug going around so it’s probably not Covid however they should have stayed away until 48 hours after she’s better anyway - how utterly selfish of your DD, turning up with a vomiting child is rank and also must have been horrible for your granddaughter to have to go visiting while ill. It’s bordering on neglect tbh

PurpleDaisies · 26/12/2021 20:35

Why on earth did you let them in like that? Flowers

Don’t see you mum. Poor her.

PurpleDaisies · 26/12/2021 20:35

That was not supposed to be flowers.

MrsSkylerWhite · 26/12/2021 20:36

No, they should cancel their visit to you.

Lindy2 · 26/12/2021 20:45

I wouldn't have let them through my door. A visitor with a sick bowl in hand (regardless of Covid) wouldn't be invited into my home.

Why didn't you just say no?

As you have seen them then no you should not now visit your elderly mum. She doesn't want Covid or a sickness bug.

Agree, thank you all sil is a very difficult person to deal with, horribly controlling, his family have been staying since Christmas Eve, none of them considered it a problem he says, so we are torn between trying to support dd in between the sil's opinions (to the extent he had a somewhat passive aggressive conversation with dh about the visit today). I've decided I will wait 10 days before visiting my dm, but relationship with sil is now very 'neutral' 😉
