A cold, nope. But as a guest I would appreciate a courtesy heads up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207704 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:39:47 +0000 Greentea 2207704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: I totally agree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207701 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:37:23 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2207701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I've becomes so desensitized about colds, dince one or both kids almost always have one (from daycare). I wouldn't cancel but I would give everyone a heads up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207692 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:12:03 +0000 autumnlove 2207692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't cancel for a cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207691 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:07:59 +0000 ALV91711 2207691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If your DD was miserable with her cold then I would cancel but you said she is happy and playing so I'd go ahead. </p> <p>I'd only cancel for fever or vomiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207688 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:59:36 +0000 Ra 2207688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As long as there is no fever or vomiting I wouldn't cancel. I can't imagine most parents would be worried about a cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207609 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 20:07:44 +0000 Greentea 2207609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably would cancel, guess I'm in the minority on that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207591 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 19:13:03 +0000 yellowbird 2207591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: ditto! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207588 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 19:08:49 +0000 honeybear 2207588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would cancel on the friends and let family come if they want, but give them a heads up and be willing to reschedule. I think letting friends know about the cold instead of canceling puts them in an awkward spot. I mean, I'm not coming if you tell me your child is sick, but I'll also feel bad about it. I hope your LO feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207584 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 18:49:25 +0000 travellingbee 2207584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not for a cold. And I wouldn't call to warn everyone either, personally, unless you know of a family with a very small one (newborn) or a compromised immune system. A cold is a cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207544 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 17:02:22 +0000 Bao 2207544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a cold, no. Puking, yes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207521 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 15:39:29 +0000 travelgirl1 2207521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't cancel for a cold, but would definitely warn all your guests in advance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207495 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 14:12:10 +0000 regberadaisy 2207495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't, but I would just let the families with young kids know so their parents can decide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207469 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:49:50 +0000 WinterBee 2207469@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Carrot: Like PP said, I would tell everyone who is invited the situation. I would not be happy if I brought my kid over, and she got sick and it could have easily been prevented. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207459 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:28:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2207459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you just warn the families with younger children? I would give them the heads up and let them decide, but your family would probably still want to come regardless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-cancel#post-2207448 Sat, 13 Jun 2015 12:08:56 +0000 Mrs. Carrot 2207448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kiddo's 2nd bday party is set for tomorrow afternoon and of course she came down with a cold. No fever and she's happy and playing but she's been snotty since Thursday evening and her eyes are draining a bit too (doc's office said it's likely cold related). I don't want to be a jerk who gets kids sick (we have 8 kids about her age coming) but we do have family coming from a few hours away. Wwyd? </p>
