Would you intentionally expose your child to chickenpox?

Once upon a time it may have made sense, because it was widespread and you really don't want to get it as a teenager or an adult -- it is more severe after puberty.
However, now, it's more unusual for kids to get it because of the vaccinations. I've never had chickenpox and certainly wouldn't expose a child to it intentionally, but in years past, maybe.

If you send an unvaccinated kid to school, that is essentially what you are doing.
But schools won't enroll your kid unless he/she has been vaccinated...this includes the chickenpox vaccination. My daughter seemed to get some wierder viruses than chickenpox immediately after her vaccination...but nothing since then.

What benzene said -- chances aren't great that chicken pox will be contracted at all. As a child I recall parents exposing their children to chicken pox and measles, but only in households with more than one child after one child had contracted the disease.

Even so, I think cases of sterility caused by mumps are considered rare. Something to be avoided, certainly. For just this reason, I received a mumps vaccination because I hadn't gotten the disease during childhood.

There's a great South Park episode
If you ever catch it.
 ...The kids of South Park are exposed to Chicken Pox via the parents via a chicken pox party for the same reason. The kids find out about the "harm" intended by their parents to intentionally give their own children a virus. So, to exact revenge, they hire a local whore who has all sorts of nasty stuff living inside her to use the parents' tooth brushes and other repulsive contact transmission methods. It's pretty funny. If you have Tivo and do a keyword on 'south park chicken pox', you'll only get that episode when it eventually comes on without having to wade through the other episodes.
