WWYD: plans for the day

clayswife

I have a cold and feel like poop.  We are supposed to go to a 1-yo's birthday party 2 hours away but the mom has put the time of the party from 2pm-10pm (who does that btw). 

I kind of feel like I want to play the sick card because honestly, I'm still not fully recovered from my c/s (this one has really had its toll), drained and sick-so I feel like those are all good enough reasons even though we really should go because they are really good friends.

Tell me it's okay not to go lol

It's definitely OK not to go!  I'm sure, as a mama, your friend would understand.

I'm sure she would understand too, especially considering the drive.  You wouldn't want to get all those other kiddos sick with your germs!

This, and you can even make it sound like you're doing her a favor.  "I feel so bad, but the last thing I want is to bed the birthday kid sick!"  Frankly, I prefer when sick people stay home!

I think it's fine not to go. I'd probably give her a call and let her know that while you would love to be there you're sick and still not feeling top notch after surgery. She might actually appreciate it so as the kiddos don't potentially catch your sickness. Or at least you can play that card. Stay home and rest mama!

It's ok to not go! You're sick, have a toddler, a newborn and you are recovering from a c-s! Stay home and rest I'm sure your friend will understand! I'm not sure how long ago you had your c-s but I can't see myself going anywhere like that for a long time. This time is way worse too! I hope you feel better soon.
