But it's still a good start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503538 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 17:06:09 +0000 autumnlove 2503538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would go as Saturday is a few days away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503471 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:46:07 +0000 psw27 2503471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jhd: I guess it's rude to bring your own lysol and lysol wipes and start cleaning things down! hahahahaha I don't blame you for being worried! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503446 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:26:01 +0000 jhd 2503446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: that's one of my concerns. I have no idea if they would clean as aggressively as I would. Not to mention everyone always kissing all over LO since he's the baby! :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503435 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:20:11 +0000 psw27 2503435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would only go if everyone was healthy + I was sure that the house was lysol-ed to death. Stomach bugs are aggressive and persistent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503388 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 15:01:54 +0000 mediagirl 2503388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We would go. It's a family thing and we would just be extra vigilant about washing hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503345 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:43:51 +0000 FaithFertility 2503345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait, I got it a week after DH they are no joke </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503323 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:37:33 +0000 jhd 2503323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! We will definitely wait to make a decision, but it helps to hear everyone's perspectives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503322 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:37:03 +0000 snowjewelz 2503322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stomach bugs are no joke!! I'd wait and see if anyone else gets sick first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2503312 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 14:33:06 +0000 LovelyPlum 2503312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would wait to make that call. </p> <p>We had the stomach flu a few weeks ago, and I had a nasty case of it-I was on the couch for 5 days. 6 days after I originally got sick, my sister came up to help us with LO. 48 hours after she got home, she had it, too. However, she, DH, and LO only had the 24 hour version.</p> <p>So, I would say that if no one else gets sick between now and Saturday, I would still go. Otherwise, I would ask them to come down or make the trip the following weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502609 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 07:15:54 +0000 Bao 2502609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would skip, but I'm a germaphobe as well, and every time I did suck it up and agree to be around recently sick people, we all got it. Not worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502608 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 07:14:32 +0000 honeybear 2502608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would be prepared to skip and make the final call on Thursday/Friday. It sort of depends on how long the sickness lasts. If everyone is symptom-free and feeling fine by Thursday, I would be comfortable going. But if someone is still sick at all on Friday, I would want to reschedule/skip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502586 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 06:19:05 +0000 creativemomma15 2502586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't be wild about going but considering Easter is still 5 days away I don't think I could get away with skipping. I try to make myself feel a little better about germ situations like this by reminding myself that I could easily pick up germs like this shopping at Target.</p> <p>Eta: It would also depend on if it continues spreading through the family for the whole week or not. If someone is sick on Friday and still planning on being there I would probably skip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502585 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 06:16:02 +0000 Alba4 2502585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Considering Easter is still 5 or so days away, you can probably go. I'm sure they will thoroughly clean the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502572 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 05:28:25 +0000 catomd00 2502572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we would still go, assuming they were feeling well again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502559 Tue, 22 Mar 2016 01:07:28 +0000 anonysquire 2502559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Noooooooooooo!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502539 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 22:47:11 +0000 jhd 2502539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: @Foodnerd81: @youboots: thanks, ladies. I have been anxious all evening about it. Glad to know I am not the only one who would skip it!</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: yes she is planning on hosting and cooking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502528 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 22:18:22 +0000 youboots 2502528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably skip it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502527 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 22:12:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2502527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mil is hosting? I would seriously consider skipping. I am not a germophobe but stomach bug germs last a long time and are super contagious. Plus will she even be up for hosting a week after? I feel like that lingers and she might feel pretty crappy all week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502521 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 22:00:24 +0000 SweetiePie 2502521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would want to reschedule. But I am a germaphobe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/germs-and-holiday-plans#post-2502500 Mon, 21 Mar 2016 21:34:18 +0000 jhd 2502500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live about two hours away from the ILs and planned to drive to their house for Easter, just for the day. MIL came down with a stomach virus on Sat night and now one of SIL's kids has it. Assuming no one else catches it between now and then would you feel comfortable continuing with your plans to attend or would you want to reschedule for another day? </p>
