Yes, sorry should have made it clear that we’ve both had chickenpox as children.

Has your DH had chicken pox? If not, he is right to be wary because it can be awful in adults.

Hello!
Grandson who we are due to visit (and stay with) at the weekend has chickenpox. I am pretty confident that there is no risk to us as grandparents either from catching chickenpox or from developing shingles. DH is less confident than me and keeps finding stuff on the interweb that says we should stay away. We aren’t immuno compromised so I think we should be fine. DD has lots of fun things for herself planned as it is her birthday so I’m really reluctant to spoil her plans. I’d be grateful for any advice!
