Am I being overcautious? (avoiding kids right now)
I work in a middle school and they have a party today for the staff's children. The stomach virus has been ripping through my school. BAD. I had 30 kids out on Thursday out of 125.
I'm contemplating skipping the party. It's held in the cafeteria where every kid goes at some point, and there will be lots of children there all playing this afternoon.
I am usually not paranoid. My DD plays with her cousins, eats things off the floor... a random boogery kid kissed her on the lips recently and I just laughed it off.
But this virus is making me crazy!
Would you bring her or stay home. She's 15 months and will be all over the place.

I'm pretty relaxed about stuff too but 5 days before Christmas with a baby, it's not worth it. I'd skip.

I def wouldn't go or bring her. Not worth the risk right before the holidays.

Nope, you're not being paranoid. I would skip it.
If I could I would make today be DS's last day for the rest of the year. He had a religion test this morning. The rest of the week is just light work and a party. Its not worth sending him and risking him bringing home this nasty bug that is going around.
Unfortunately, I can't have him home with my mom the rest of the week, since she needs to prepare for Christmas Day dinner.

So ironically enough, she napped from 3:30-5 yesterday... the party was 4-5. She NEVER naps then! I think she did it to make me feel better about my decision.

Oh just saw you did skip it!

Re: Am I being overcautious? (avoiding kids right now)
I was just going to post a similar WWYD question. I wasn't sure but decided to keep my DS home from school for the next two days bc that stomach virus is going around his class and grade. I have a preemie baby two months old and I'm petrified of him bringing it home. And Xmas too. Awful.

Re: Am I being overcautious? (avoiding kids right now)
I would skip for sure! I'm keeping my girls home from school tomorrow because the stomach bug is spreading like wild fire. I feel like they will definitely get it but I'm praying for a Christmas miracle. If they can at least hold out until Sunday afternoon is all I'm asking for.

Re: Am I being overcautious? (avoiding kids right now)
This is DD's second time with it in 6 weeks. It's terrible. She's in kindergarten and I thought she was in the clear from getting it bc she already had it. The nurse called yesterday and said she threw up in school. She was totally fine when I sent her. I'm so upset she's going to have to miss Christmas at relatives houses this weekend
