I have 3 children, all at the same primary school - DD1 in Y1, DTs in nursery. DT2 was sick yesterday morning and DT1 had a bad cough, but DD1 ok, so a lovely friend took her to school and DTs stayed at home. I had to collect DD1 early because she was feeling unwell, and she has been up half the night with bad tummy pains. She vomited earlier this morning, so she's at home today (not that I was going to send her anyway), DT2 has to be home because she was sick yesterday, but DT1 is fine (so far) so a lovely neighbour has taken her in for me, and another lovely friend will bring her home.
Thing is, chances are, DT1 will come down with this, so should I have kept her at home? Doesn't seem like a valid reason for keeping her off, particularly as half the school is going down with this bug at the moment (and I know the school would say she should be there) but I don't want other parents thinking I'm irresponsible for sending her in. This is my first term of having them all in the same place so I'm unsure of the 'etiquette'!
