No, no and again no! Your DH needs to think before he pms's. My SO had to for most of winter take SS to stay elsewhere because he was constantly sick with contagious/ air borne illnesses and I had a high risk pregnancy.

Who looks after SD while she is sick? Is he staying home?

Strep throat usually requires treatment with antibiotics. With the proper medical care — along with plenty of rest and fluids — a child should be back to school and play within a few days.

Did you have another user name? This blog and the other sounds similar to another poster.

If dad is the CP, then the child should be there. Even if he wanted to leave the kid with mom, she could tell him no because she is the NCP.

I'm reading this as the SD lives in the OP's house, M-F.

If my DH was sick and my BS had strep and DH told me I couldnt bring my BS "home" from his weekend visit with his dad, I would be a little pissed too.

I would just take precaution to keep BS away from my DH. It's that simple.

I'd be a little pissed. 24 hrs is not a long time to wait till antibiotics kick in. You and DH need to think of the baby growing in your tummy. Does DH know that there is very little medication you can take while pregnant if you had to get sick.?
I think chat to him again and say you not doing this to be horrible, but you really just don't want to get sick as there is nothing you can take, unlike SD who can take something and just wait 24 hrs... This will save everybody some pain, just to be sure

This hits home with me. My sister was undergoing mastectomy AND abdominal surgery for a different type of cancer at the time of our wedding. Yes, she hit the jackpot. Both breast cancer and leiomyosarcoma at the same time. So a few weeks later she was undergoing chemo and I was scheduled to fly out to spend some time with her.

On a Friday morning, after looking at his phone, DH of a few weeks announces ssthen11 has strep throat per message from BM. I said, "surely she wouldn't drag a sick little boy from his sickbed to bring him over here?" He said, "Sure she will." I said, "DH, I can't be around the strep, I am set to see my sister in CHEMO in one week!"

He actually got snarky with me, one of the rare times he did. Told me I was making way too much of a "little strep throat." Finally I just flat out said, "I cannot kill my sister. If ss comes, I will live have to stay at my own house."

He was very unhappy with me and belittled my conception of the seriousness of strep and left for work in a very pissy mood.

I went on line and checked to make sure I wasn't being crazy. Oh, it turns out strep can infect someone without causing symptoms meaning they can serve as a "carrier" without knowing it. And, can't remember with precision, but it was something like 2 weeks after exposure you can still infect others whether you have symptoms or not. Meaning I couldn't even be around SDthen13 and if DH picked up the kids, I couldn't be around him, either.

So I packed up a week's worth AND enough for the trip after that and went over to my house. I felt absolutely terrible. I was being kicked out of what was supposed to be my new home because the skids apparently trumped every other family member, including my cancer riddled sister.

That evening dh called me and said he'd talked it over with people at work and done some research and found out at every turn that I was absolutely right. The risk to my sister was tremendous. He saw the same stuff I did about how long it would take to clear all family members from risk of infecting others.

He did apologize but honestly it is still a sore spot with me. Not a happy memory.

Protect yourself. Check into a hotel if he insists on bringing that dreadful germ into your house.

BTW, my sister did end up in hospital for 9 days with pneumonia as it is. I shudder to think had I brought that strep germ to her. But now she is doing great, apparently conquered both cancers. Amazingly.

SD7 showed up here Friday with sniffles and a slight fever; which grew to be 102 by the next morning.

I'm 6 months pregnant. Not sure that I'd ask DH to not have his kids over because one of them is sick. I'm not particularly high risk, but it's their house too. I didn't have much problem keeping my distance; she slept most of the weekend or watched TV in her room (DH moved one in there for the weekend).

DH cleaned and sprayed disinfectant periodically.

What I don't get is what the huge, big deal is for ANYONE to miss a weekend, or a visit for something that your SO sees as important. Really.... The kid is a kid - young... So there's an illness - non-standard circumstances... in this case pregnancy and kid with some germ infested 'thing'. So you leave the kid at home, and forfeit the visit till better. Who Cares? There are other weekends. I really don't get this stuff. I think it's completely inconsiderate of DH to diss your preferences on this.

I had been really funky displaying classic heart attack symptoms to the point where I ended up in the ER twice - the 2nd time via ambulance at 2 a.m. They ordered a cardio catherization for which landed on a Friday - Kid Friday and my SO was getting all freaked out about picking up the skid. I knew that I had to lay completely flat for the next day + and really had to take it easy and of course no one knew what the outcome of that procedure would be - I had to actually tell him - No - this is NOT a good weekend for the skid to be here. He looked like a deer in the headlights - total shock!

The skid did not come that weekend.

What's wrong with these people?
