Would you be annoyed if a friend hosted a group playdate (multiple LOs) only to find out that their LO was miserable and sick...even if he spent the entire time sleeping on couch?
-
Yes. That just doesn't make sense? I would cancel the playdate, no one understands having a sick child more than another parent...
-
It would annoy me, but then again, my son was around his 3 sick cousins at Christmas and didn't catch whatever they had.
It depends really if we have to travel, the thought of a sick child on an airplane, I just can't.
-
I would be pretty annoyed. I would have cancelled the play date. No sense in having more children over if your child can't partake because they are sick.
-
@looch: If you're still okay to play then the cousins were fine. I don't mind if kids have runny noses or have a cold. But this is like calling out for mom, lethargic, looking miserable sick.
-
Yes, very. I would feel terrible if the other kids got sick!
-
Yes I would be pretty annoyed!
-
Yes! Very annoyed!
-
I would be annoyed if it was the lo we came to play with. If it is an older/younger sibling then not as much. It happens that they get sick too
-
@Freckles: I don't know about that. One of them had a fever, the other a virus. They should have been home, but not my kids, not my call.
-
@looch: Oh okay, nevermind!
@maybebaby: The mom claimed that LO was no longer contagious but then later found out that he had an infection. I suppose it's moot since my LO didn't get sick but i was a bit annoyed after the fact!
-
yes, i would be very annoyed!
-
Yes, I'd be pissed. My son had a playdate last week with his buddy and the next day his friend was sick, then my son got sick a few days later and has been now since Sunday. My friend has apologized so many times (not her fault though, because the day I was there her son wasn't sick) so I know she would have told me if she even thought just for a second her son was sick. I always tell people when my son is sick, so as to warn them to stay away.
-
I'd be upset that they didn't have the sick child in another room. I'd also be upset that they didn't notify me ahead of time so I could make the decision not to go.
-
I think it's inconsiderate to her own child!
-
I feel bad for the sick child. Poor thing.
-
I'd be pissed if they didn't tell me ahead of time so I could decide whether to go.
-
I think she should have cancelled - I feel bad for her sick kid, and for all the other people who could possibly catch it.
