I have 3 kids, aged 3, 5 and 7. I know that kids get sick etc but I wanted your thoughts on whether I am right in being annoyed by this. I took my 3 yr old to playgroup on Tuesday. All my kids have been healthy with no signs of sickness. One of the mums pretty much dumped her 4 yr old with us, to be watched while she ran her errands for two hours and collected him then.

Her entire family have been sick with a vomiting bug, she had at least 2 members still at home vomiting and this child has had it too, but hasn't vomited for at least 2 days. He played with my daughter! the entire time we were there.

So exactly 24 hours later, my child gets a tummy ache and starts vomiting at 11pm that night, all through the night and is still sick in the belly two days later. Now my son, is vomiting and my daughter has a belly ache and is not well.

Now as I said I know kids get sick and I accept that, but I emailed the mum to tell her that my daughter is now sick and she pretty much said her son hadn't vomitied for 2 days, but I am positive that he has passed it on. It is just too much of a coincidence that my child got sick right after being in close contact with this child, who I don't think was completely over it, and with a family still vomiting at home.

I am so furious that my kids and family are now suffering, as a result of this mum leaving her child and going off. A friend said to me that she could have gotten it from anywhere, yes thats true, but I honestly don't believe that. The mum says to me "have fun", not likely. Any thoughts.
