I know how you feel. I have a family member who used to come over all the time when my daughter was younger and her kids were always sick. What made it worse was her kids would always put my daughter's toys in their mouth ugh and she would just sit there and watch them do it like wtf?!
I'm taking vitamin c to help my iron digest so hopefully that'll keep me from getting sick.
You will be shocked and amazed as time goes on as to how many people do this. I had a mom bring her son over one time and he's sitting there with my son and he' coughing up a storm and she says . . . there is a boy with whooping cough at church. Sure hope my son doesn't have it. I scooped up my son and told her she had to leave. She was kind of miffed but I'm lke, really? This is one of my major pet peeve. Wait until school and moms who work especially send their kids in sick because they don't want to keep them home. While I understand the predicament . . . it is just not fair to everyone else. No wonder preschool can be a cesspool!!
anyway, I have taken to paying attention when talking to someone. I ask how everyone is. And when I get a clean bill of health from our chit chat . . . I say "do you want to get together? Ha, and if they mention anyone is sick at all, I don't suggest a get together. I'm like a super sleuth trying to keep sickies away from us.
You gotta do what you gotta do but there are so many people who don't think twice about bringing sick kids around.
One of my sons has bad allergies and can have a runny nose . . . and I am quick to always announce --- JUST ALLERGIES He's not sick!!!!! I don't want anyone thinking I do that. LOL
People have no boundaries about stuff. If your kids are sick keep them home till they get better. I would not watch someone's sick children.
My mother in law asked us to watch my husbands brother who is 5 years old. I didn't feel good but said I would anyway. Heshows up sick with all kinds of meds and tissues. I'm like what the heck?!?!? How rude of her to drop of her sick kid around a pregnant lady! I feel your pain girl!
Yes I hate when people bring sick kids around healthy kids or pregnant women go home and get better then come out is that so hard gosh
Good luck hang on there kids are so exhausting. Especially sick kids
Yeah I wouldn't find it nice that he brought them over sick. I'd be annoyed also. Just sick them down with a movie on and like chips to snack on and tell them its time to relax haha :) good luck. Congrats on the twins!!
Tell their dad they are ready to go home for dinner, I'd be Pis sed and would have made them stay outside with them.
