Chicken Pox can be fatal if contracted as an adult, soooooo, yes.I wouldn’t purposely bring a child over to have my child get chickenpox because you can have them get the shot.
My siblings all had the chicken pox when one of them brought it home from school before I was born. I never got them as a child so when I was around 13 or so I got the immunization and I’ve been fine since then. I can understand what you’re saying but I wouldn’t do it personally. I’d rather just try to prevent it until they can get the shot.If the pox is going around and your neighbor kid has it hasn’t your child already been exposed? Of course being exposed is no guarantee that they will get it. I had 2 siblings who all had it and I never got it.Kids can pick that up anywhere.. There’s no way you’ll know if your child would get it at a younger age or when they are older. But I don’t think I would purposely expose my child to chicken pox to just get it over with.i wouldnt do thisNo, I wouldn’t take them over there. If my kids got it by chance, fine, but I just don’t think I could make them intentionally sick. Chicken pox, while normally not serious, still makes you feel pretty miserable. And if I can keep my kids feeling good (especially in the summer) then that’s what I am going to do.
I don’t think anyone is a bad mother if they want to go ahead and take their kids to a chicken pox party, but I think I would feel really guilty when a few days later my kid was up all night with an itchy rash and fever.Heck no, I wouldn’t purposely expose my 18 month old to chickenpox. How old is your son? How is it “better” to have chicken pox at an age where you can’t understand why you can’t scratch and can’t explain how you feel?
Sorry, I agree with your neighbour..
Edit: Sorry I didn’t read what your neighbour’s face said, I don’t think you’re the world’s worst mother but I probably would’ve given you a “look” had you said this to me in person.
Edit 2: In the UK we don’t have the chicken pox vaccine. I’m aware my daughter will get it at some point but i’d never purposely expose her to it.My mother did that with me. At the time the vaccine wasn’t widely available. So my mother tried to get us exposed as many times as possible after we were in grade school. And ironically it never worked. I did end up getting them from my uncle that had the shingles when I was in the fifth grade. And then I gave them to my sister that was in the 8 grade at the time. I had a rough time of it but so did my sister. And I think is was worse on her because in the later grades there is more work to be made up etc.
So I don’t think you are a bad mother. As it is probably better to get it when they are in grade school rather than as a teenager or older. But for me I think we will be doing the vaccine and skip it completely.the younger the kid when they go through that the better…..If your neighbor thinks that chickenpox is so horrible, I’m assuming she vaccinated her son. Well, he still got chickenpox. You can point that out to her, and say that instead of vaccinating your son and having the same thing happen, he might as well get chickenpox without getting the vaccine first.
You are right, it is better to get as a child.
If your neighbor doesn’t understand about vaccine dangers, you could mention you are grossed out about the aborted human fetus cell fragments in the vaccine.
Still, she’s under no obligation to let your son visit. So you should probably join a Yahoo group for chickenpox parties.
My neighbour’s son has chicken pox. I asked her if we could come over because I’m of the idea that these kind of things are better to have when you’re young (I had measles at 15 and it was much more serious). My neighbour looked at me as if I were the world’s worst mother for wanting my son to get chicken pox over and done with.
What’s you opinion on this? Better to be ill when little, or protect and immunise them?
