Chicken pox party?

[Millie3030]

Hi, my friends little girl has chicken pox and has asked if I want to go round there tomorrow, her little girl is 3 and my DS is nearly 2. My DH thinks it's crazy to potentially let my DS catch it and cause him discomfort, I think it may be better while he is young, he doesn't really know how to scratch himself as such and his skin should heal well with scarring while he is so little. (No guarantee he will catch it obviously) but what are your thoughts? I know kids that have caught it at 15/16 and the scarring is bad especially on their face.

ridiculous
Silly phone!

I never kept my DS away from anyone with chicken pox. I am sure on here I am an awful mother but he never caught it from anyone he played with. He got it from god knows where when he was 3.

I think you will find a lot of people who simply don't worry about their child catching chicken pox but you have to be brave to admit it on here.

I thought Chicken pox was mild. Then my daughter got it. Shingles is no fun either.
