MN jury please: dd2 + chicken pox + drop off dd1 at playgroup = yay or nay?

[oliveoil]

dd2 has just come out in spots

is it ok to still take her in the buggy to drop dd1 at playgroup?

I am doing this (or MIL is), can't leave her in the house on her own.

So. Am I being really bad?

No pregnant women there that I know of, most of the children have had it (that's where it came from, via dd1).

I await the verdict.

Oh God, just go. She was more infectious before the spots come out and you are only taking her for a drop off - she isn't playing in the playgroup is she?

Sounds fine to me!

That wasn't meant to sound harsh - sorry!

Go! You might even get the playgroup all to yourself. he he

oh SO YAY

GO! indeed yes

HA!

She was taken there this morning, this was a rhetorical question (is that the right word?).

I just remember a thread where people were horrified at children being in a park with chicken pox and thought I may have committed a huge MN faux pas.

She has watery eyes and wants her mum apparently .

I had to do this when DD had chicken pox. DD was a babe in arms, so I shouted up the path that she had chicken pox in case any of the women were pregnant. Felt like I should be ringing some kind of leppers bell.
In the end everyone outside DS's nursery was lovely apart from one evil witch who had a go at me because she didn't want her daughter to catch chicken pox just before the summer holidays. She was really rude & said I was irresponsible. I suggested that if she felt so strongly about it, perhaps she would like to give DS lifts to and from nursery for the duration of DD's pox!!!! About the only time in my life I have had the right riposte at the right time.

i had to take dd2+3 to dd1 school for pick-up drop off as had no-one to help me. i kept dd2 to my side and popped a raincover over dd3. if anyone stood nearby i let them know they had the dreaded pox, one lady moved off, one lady made her son stand next to dd2
