Sickness and a party

[Mummyslittlegiraffe]

My DD was sick in the night, perked up now and has kept a piece of toast down for about an hour so far. Fingers crossed.

One of my close friends has a big birthday about 45 mins drive tonight. My parents were meant to have her overnight, but for their health reasons this can't happen now. DH (who is working), thinks I should just go for an hour or so with DD. I think this is a silly idea for many reasons.

After opinions?

After vomiting you stay away from everyone for a minimum of 24 hours. Regardless of 'keeping down' any food / water.

what happens if someone at the party also has health conditions like your parents that make them vulnerable

Would I be right in thinking your dh is a bit of a twat and you think he is generally?

Yeah I would be pretty pissed off if I found out you attended the party I was at knowing your dd has been sick..

@Sal17690 @Fullofpop I agree with you both. Just hoping to demonstrate to DH I'm not being pathetic. He thinks I'm far to risk adverse with things in general and this is another example.

You think he’s going to give a fig what a bunch of anonymous mumsnetters think?

Absolutely don't take her. You're supposed to isolate for 48 hours after the last sickness episode.
I assume DH can't take time off?

but for their health reasons this can't happen now

Does DH actually think your parents are unreasonable?

If so - 🤬

If not - what about the people with similar health issues as your parents AT THE PARTY?

Does your DH have the ability to think critically?

DGS had a D&V bug a fortnight ago. He was sick on the Monday morning, perked up in the afternoon, ate some toast and kept it down. He had the runs all day Tuesday, then was sick that night and once or twice every night until the Saturday. He was absolutely fine throughout the day. So, no you shouldn’t take her anywhere tonight, or for 48hrs have passed since she
last vomited. Rules are there for a reason.

Don’t worry everyone, I’m not going.

But to answer a few (before I unfollow the thread). The host would have been fine having her there, if I’d not been able to get childcare in the first place. DH’s suggestion comes from a good place, as I have a very limited social life outside of DD, and he knew how much I was looking forward to it.

So your host would have sent a message to all guests giving them a heads up?
or she just unilaterally made the decision on behalf of everyone that it was cool to run the high risk of a vomming bug spreading amongst them?

She and your husband sound made for each other

The host would have been ok with OPs DD going to the party if she couldn’t get childcare (before she was sick).

Oh I see

So in that case the DH was also meaning the op should keep it on the quiet from her closest friend and her guests. Nice.

Although I reckon a 4 year old at an evening adult bash was never going to be fun for anyone anyway
