[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a true full cold I am with you but some minor congestion no...  Do your kids go to school?  No one stays home for a minor cold.  They are exposed all the time.  Most things are contagious before symptoms anyways.

I was hestitate to have you host Christmas or another big event with those rules.[/quote]

You know that a minor cold in an adult could have totally different symptoms in a kid, right? For us this would result in staying at home from preschool. We both work. One of us would have to take PTO. So why risk it when you can wait a week and have grandma and grandpa come over next weekend instead? [/quote]

Agree with the poster before you. The point is that your child is at risk of a cold every single day at preschool and there isn’t much you can do about it. Working parents are hesitant to keep a child home for the sniffles when it costs a day of pay, and little children swap colds back and forth constantly.

I think the answer is going to really depend. If grandma can easily drive over next weekend, that’s an easy suggestion. If she is flying cross country for the first time in six months, then canceling over a cold would be over the top. And yes like PP said, if you are offering to host a major  event like Christmas, this type of rule isn’t fair.[/quote]
