[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a kid with a 102 temp and puking their guts out Christmas morning F'ing sucks.  Been there, done that.  She is off, her preschooler is off.  Keeping her kid home since the flu is going around AND she wants to spend some time doing Christmas things is completely fine.  She is in ES people.  It is nice to do those mental break things IF it can be done.

OP, don't let these scrooges bully you.  You already have off so enjoy the time.  I am off and my kids are home with me too. We did Christmas cookies for 4 hours today and watched holiday movies and was SO happy to not be out in that weather.   [/quote]

Op here. Thanks for the support! I have a feeling that there's one person in particular who keeps posting who is so worried that I'm teaching my kid to be a huge germaphobe by pulling him out. We never Purell, my kids play in the mud constantly, we often go to others' houses who are sick (with colds, not fever/vomit), and I usually forget to remind them to wash up before dinner on normal days. So I'm laughing here because I know I am far from a germaphobe under normal circumstances, it's just this week in particular that made me wary since we are seeing[b] that family member who is immuno-compromised[/b] and huge chunks of schools are absent due to the flu and other strong viruses, I am not afraid of a cold.[/quote]

If you have a family member who is immunocompromised, you should be careful with your preschooler.  Preschoolers are notoriously germy![/quote]
