KristineIN Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Last Friday we were supposed to have about four homeschool families over for a valentine's cookie decorating play day. We got snowed in and had to postpone. I postponed it for this Friday, but yesterday dd was running a fever and was achy so I took her to the Dr. today and she has influenza. Do I just cancel it or postpone it again or just assume by Friday she will be better? I know disappointment with not being able to do things we want is part of life. I am willing to just cancel it or postpone it again, but how many times do I keep postponing. I'm just wanting others opinions. Thanks, Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancypants Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I would probably just cancel until further notice. Just let them all know that you now have Influenza going through the family and you don't want to expose anyone. I know I'd be thankful to you for cancelling (and for knowing the reason why). HTH I hope you all get feeling better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I, without a doubt, cancel. I truly would hate to spread something like that to others. Even if others don't have the same consideration, I would still cancel. If I went to someone's house in which there were ill ones, we would turn around and leave. It is disappointing to have to cancel fun stuff, but spreading illness and such is really yucky! Sorry you have the cruds at your house.

j.griff Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I would either (A) let everyone KNOW that your dc is sick and what she has, and they can decide if they want to come or not or (B) let everyone know that your dc is sick and that you are just too busy taking care of her and you cancel the party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMindy Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I would cancle. I don't like to mess around with that. If it were a normal cold I would probably call the parents give them the info and let them choose what they wanted to do. As for me, I'd choose *not* to go to if your kids were sick.

K&Rs Mom Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I had to cancel our homeschool group's craft day last month (it's at my house) because dd was sick. I felt terrible about it, especially the last-minute notice, but the other moms were very understanding and sympathetic. I think they appreciated the thought of not passing those germs around. We've been canceled on now & then too, and it is disappointing, but better sad than sick! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristineIN Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Thanks, I went ahead and canceled. Blessings, Kristine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
