Hubby is sick! Planned outing for my kid's birthday tomorrow... cancel!

hi there Lhenni, It can't be helped since your husband is sick. I think if we explain properly to kids, they will understand. Plus, you can always do a make up birthday celebration later on. The kids know that you didn't forget, but just have to postpone. They will not be too sad about it.

Oh that's sad. I hope he gets well soon. The last outing that was cancelled was out trip to Cagayan De Oro. I'll be honest I was really pissed. We had plane tickets and booked a hotel but sadly my leave wasn't granted. I had no choice since I was still under probation that time. On the brighter side too, my boyfriend had fever. So it was both our faults why the trip was cancelled. hihi.

hello, Children in here do really understood if there are times that some events which is suddenly cancelled.So, that is why? People here especially mom do guilty if they are did not keep there promise. I think they are more matured now.

First of all, let me wish speedy recovery for your husband. But he will be better advised to exercise caution & preventive controls as tonsillitis can be quite a bother. My daughter has suffered with it quite long. We mostly used alternative medicines in her case. I have a grown up daughter but she is the one who mostly makes all those plans for going out on trips. Most of the time it is she who does all the search, scheduling and last but not the least, following up continuously with me until we make that happen. Last vacations, she had planned a four day outing all decided. She was excited because she gets to experience some good hotel stay. Unfortunately, just about two days before we were to start, my company MD planned a visit to our site. My presence was essential. We had to cancel the trip. She was sad. . We could understand her disappointment. But knowing the importance of the work, she reconciled with it. She got more than compensation within a few months when we actually made that trip.
