[quote=Anonymous]OK DCUM, I would normally never make a post like this, but I'm getting some negative pushback on a choice I made and I wanted to get some good old anonymous feedback. My son just turned 6 this week and we were planning to have his party on Saturday. Unfortunately, yesterday I received a call from his school saying that he had a temperature and was complaining of an upset stomach, sore throat, coughing, etc. I took him to the urgent care and he was diagnosed with the Flu. Now, the Doctor said that he could potentially return to school on Friday (has to be fever-free for 24 hours) but I didn't want to take the chance that he would still be sick. So I moved his party date to next weekend.

Now, I realize that this may mean fewer people can attend since it's short notice for a change of date, and that's totally ok, I will understand if people cancel. However, a family member is essentially assailing me, saying that I am being overly cautious and thoughtless. Her argument is that people have already told their kids that they had a party this weekend and now they have to disappoint their children and try to shift plans around in order to make next weekend. My argument is that I don't want to risk giving anyone else the flu! Was I wrong?[/quote]
