On the topic of sick family and holidays... last year a friend told me they (her, her husband and her 2 year old, along with his parents) were going to stay at her brother in laws house for Thanksgiving. It was a little over three hours away I believe? Two nights or something. They got there and brother in law and his wife had a stomach virus, vomiting and such, but didn’t say anything because they didn’t want to ‘mess up the plans’. Ummmmm no. No thank you. I’m the absolute worst with germs but I’d straight up leave. I drove three hours to be in your vomit house and you are going to prepare food for me. No. My opinion of BIL would be forever altered. |

Hey there! Today was nutty at work. I’m so sore tonight. I’ve had a limb in my ribs all night and I’m about to reach in there and move it myself! To comment on the sick families going to things anyway. The last two family Christmas with my in laws, Wife’s cousin has brought her 3 boys who all had bronchitis. 2 years in a row. She doesn’t vaccinate. They’re always sick. So my son was 4 months old and 1 year 4 months. Last year he had RSV a month prior. So annoying. But vomiting and diarrhea? Oh hell no. I need to back out of this thread before I give myself a sanitizer bath. Bronchitis, unvaxed around my 4 month old? Nope. Scrooge City. |

I do not even remotely understand this. Why the hell would ANYONE assume possibly getting a stomach virus is preferable to “messing up the plans”? A few weeks ago DH called me from work to warn me that he was throwing up and he needed to come home, so if I wanted to pack up myself and DS and go to my parents for a few days (they live 20 minutes from us) I should do that quickly. So I did. No one else got sick and DH confirmed his soulmate status. He gets me. |

snowyowl are we going toe to toe in a germ off? If we lived by each other we’d be great friends bc we could always trust the other wasn’t going to germ bomb a play date. My H got the seasonal flu in March when I was pregnant with my MC pregnancy. He was so sick that once he was getting better but still not great (maybe day 4?) I made him a hotel reservation bc I couldn’t handle him in the house any longer. My kids get sick all the time. I know sickness is unavoidable but when people know they are actively sick yet still think their presence is worth taking your family down with the stomach flu for a week or the like I don’t get it. Tell me your are ill and let me decide if I want to move forward with plans or not.
