Do you go to the park when YOU are sick?

I really want to take the kids to the park today, but I have been throwing up, the other end, and had a chest and head cold for the last 3 days.  I am feeling better and have not thrown up today.  The kids really need to get out and DH is gone until Sunday night. 

Lots of people will be at the park that I know, and can and will help me with the kids.  I can basically sit on the ground and drink my tea.  

DS had the same thing, but has been on antibiotics for 3 days and seems to be over it.

Would you go?

If I had something that I knew was contagious, like the cold or flu, I wouldn't go, just because I don't want to spread it around to other kiddies. But you said there are some other adults there that could help you, so it might be a good idea and take their help and just sit off away from the kids. If it's something like a sinus infection that I know it's not contagious, I would go.

I would go and just sit on the sidelines.

As long as you are feeling up for it, I say go.  Being out in the fresh air will be good for you, and it is much harder to pass along germs when you aren't inside.

Outdoors, yes. I wouldn't go to anything indoors though unless I was certain I wasn't contageous.

No, I don't go anywhere when I'm sick.  I don't want anyone to catch what I have ... and I'm just not fun to be around when I'm sick.  Haha.
