[quote=Anonymous]Agree with PP.  I would have felt really on the spot and not said anything but probably would have been really peeved.  People do have different standards for what counts as "sick" and I think the debates about what's "too sick" for being around other kids usually devolve into one side calling the other paranoid germaphobes and the other side calling those parents inconsiderate.  I'm in the germaphobe category myself for all the reasons others have said - illness is disruptive, usually makes the rounds, and makes kids miserable.  Of course you can't prevent it always, but I'm all for avoiding it when you do know there's a heightened risk.  In this case, I wouldn't make plans with them again or if it does happen again, just say something along the lines of "I'm sorry, most likely you're right that it wouldn't be a problem, but little Jimmy just gets such a bad case of it and we've missed a lot of work this season with everything going around.  Can we reschedule for another time?  I know the boys love to play with each other."[/quote]
