I exposed my children to Chicken Pox -Did I do the right thing??

[moodywren]

Tbh I didn't know for sure my friend dd had chicken pox until afterwards but I did have and idea thats what it was.
Now I am wondering whether I should have kept them away, or whether its best to get it out of the way.
Told dh my friends dd has chicken pox but didn't tell him i took ds's round there. He'll go nuts if he finds out.
On the good side I think dh parents might not want to come around so much for a while

i think you did the right things. DH went into multiorgan failure and ended up in itu due to chickenpox. (almost fatal)

sorry for hijacklljkk - hi, my mum is trying to contact you re some baby clothes you had ffp. She has sent you emails etc. Please have a look on the free section thanks

I deliberately exposed DS1 to chicken pox, thinking it was better for him to get it young. He had the worst case the doc had ever seen and ended up with some deep scars, most of them facial. I really regret my actions now.

moodywren, I don't want to freak you out but I have had chicken pox THREE times now (or is it four) but luckily never shingles.
