[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be pissed if you didn’t warn me.  My kid has had four colds since September and gave every single one to the baby.  I can’t take off anymore work.

Warn all the inviters or you’re going to be hated. [/quote]

JFC. Kids get colds. At least normal kids who are let out of their houses. You just need to stay home snowflake [/quote]

NP are and you’re wrong an rude as hell.  The HOST of a party has a known cold.  The only right answer in any time is to tell the guests.

You wouldn’t expect a teacher to notify you if she had a cold, or a classmate to tell your child if he had a cold.  Why would you expect notification for this (and likely the same group of kids?!). It’s a cold, not the flu.[/quote]

I would expect an adult friend to notify me she had a cold before hosting me, just as I would inform her before attending a party.  It’s just good manners?  A lot of the time I am happy to hang out anyway because it is just a cold but sometimes there are reasons not to and it’s just polite to let others make their own calls.  I don’t see why I wouldn’t model that behaviour to my kids in OP’s situation.[/quote]

Do you call other parents in the class when you send your child to school with a runny nose?  If not, what’s the difference?  [/quote]

Not comparable at all!  First, I don’t send my kids to school with colds.  Second, school is essential and parties are not.  Third, you donot invite anyone over to your home without telling them that your child is sick!!! [/quote]

You keep your child home from school for every runny nose?  [/quote]

YES.  [/quote]
