yes you can have the child but seeing as you pick up it might be a little difficult in avoiding contact with the parent. You could always wear a face mask (not sure if I am kidding or not!! sorry:blush: ).

the thing is you will have already been in contact with her (mum) and therefore the germs.

My mindees mum had it just over a week ago. I was worried as my step daughters getting married next week so I had visions of us (her dad, brother and sisters) not making it to the wedding! Luckily there's no sign of the mindees catching it so am feeling a bit more relaxed now.

I would still have the child. Two parents have recently had heavy colds (possibly flu) and i carried on. You are already exposed and its impossible to say whether you would get anything.
