Twin dck's, the dcb was sick today (fever and vomiting). So for tomorrow she's wanting to take him to her mother in laws and the dcg to my house. Do you guys let dcm's do this?! Personally, I don't want to spend Easter sick. I'm thinking that's what we're asking for by allowing her to do this. What do you all think??

Meant to add that the dcg stayed home with sick brother and dcm today. -
I know how you feel because I have a sibling set that's always sick, but never at the same time. One threw up at noon and parents picked just that kid up, and then the sibling who stayed at daycare vomited later that day. It's frustrating because I know there's a huge chance the sibling without symptoms will be developing them later, and meanwhile spreading all the germs to everyone else. BUT I get the family's predicament, too... I'm torn about a sibling exclusion policy.Comment

My sibling policy states that if one is kept home for illness, the other(s) must stay home as well. Most parents understand, as it just helps limit exposure to germs.Comment

Siblings are individuals so only the one with symptoms is excluded here.
Here is another thread about siblings and illness exclusions

Thank you all! And blackcat that thread was very helpful!
I ended up going with my gut and having her keep dcg home as well. I can't afford for all my families to get it. If it wasn't a 4 day weekend with Easter then I wouldn't be so selfish. But I REALLY don't want to spend my nice long break with the stomach flu

Good for you.
I can't stand it when parents send one kid
for any reason.
