Am I wrong?

I think that's totally respectful and responsible. Idk if it's possible that she misunderstood, but it seems stupid to me that she's okay with people that are knowingly ill possibly spreading that illness around to anyone, much less people with compromised immune systems! I'm all for vaccines, and I know some people are against them 🙄 so it's your right to possibly put your child in danger, but you don't get to put my child in danger along with yours. When you know better, do better 🤷🏻‍♀️

My friend had a baby around the same time as me and she told me she wanted to have a playdate when they got older. Few conversations later she told me NONE of her 4 kids are vaccinated. I have not brought up a play date. Because if my child is sick…your child could become deathly I’ll from whatever virus. I don’t want to be responsible. And if your child is a carrier of whatever and my child gets sick, I’m calling you everything but a child of God.

As parents, we get to make our own informed decisions about our children. And if you tell me your kids are not vaccinated. Do you baby🥱. But as a parent also, I’m going to make the decision to stay away. Friend or not

I think regardless of vaccine status, you should never bring a sick child around other children until they're better. That's why schools and daycares have the 24 hour fever free policies and such, because regardless of vaccines, anyone can get sick from another sick person and it isn't fair to spread sickness.

I wouldn't say my kid couldn't be friends with their kid tho? I'd just say to keep their sick kid home and when they're better, they can play again

I think they can be friends it's a little ridiculous to think they shouldn't be......either way you shouldn't be interacting when sick Vax or no vax....that's just respectful.

she might have misunderstood but she resorted to getting ugly so i decided to remove myself. and i told her i’m not talking about a common cold because i know a kid will get sick, but if you for example got a kid around my kids with some severe respiratory disease and my kid isn’t vaccinated yet or up to date and he/she gets it, i will be upset. because you were being negligent .

My son is vaccinated and I'd be totally fine with him playing with other kids even if they are unvaccinated. Where I draw the line is with any kid or adult being sick, I dont want you around me or my kid during that time. I don't want to be sick nor my kid getting sick and I'd never go around others while we are sick either. I don't care if it's a simple cold, stay away 😅

Alienating children simply because of their vaccine status is a bit overkill, it's not their fault their parents didn't vaccinate them but doesn't make them any less worthy of having friends and other kids to play with if they are not actively sick. That just would just hurt the children because of something out of their control.

i definitely agree! something about kids being friends and having that connection, i don’t want to break that especially if they have been friends for a while. but i will be hesitant about my kid being around them more than they should. like don’t ask me to have your kid over or my kid to go to your house. but if somehow your kid is waved to go to school without being vaccinated, i can’t control my kid playing with yours at recess but i will do everything i can beyond that.

right, which is why i told her that they don’t have to stop being friends but if you purposely know your kid has a severe illness and you send them off to hang with other kids, i won’t be happy and there’s where i have a problem. if it’s a common cold, okay but still why?

correct! that’s what i am saying. she got mad because she believes it doesn’t matter , that she would be doing my kid a favor like no, if it will put my kid in the hospital or in danger, you were being negligent and that’s where i have a problem

her rebuttal was she would be doing my kid a favor, like no because if my kid gets hospitalized then i am going to have a serious issue. because i allowed my kid to be your kids friend doesn’t mean you get to take advantage of my kid and compromise him to something severe

@Emily sounds like some who doesn't respect boundaries or other people's perspective much....definitely not a fan of that.

I don’t think it’s ridiculous to think this way. Daycares and schools ask for immunization records and prevent kids from being enrolled if they aren’t vaccinated. There’s a reason they don’t allow them into school because certain illnesses are deadly to kids. Why would you want to subject your kids to all those viruses.

It annoys me when parents say well “we didn’t have all these vaccines in my time and I turned out fine”…well Mary Sue, a lot of other kids didn’t.

you and me both

i agree with this!! but apparently now there is a waiver that a parent can fill out to go against vaccines and the schools have to be okay with it because it’s the parents right, not sure how true that is but i definitely wouldn’t want excessive exposure. a cold, the flu, and tuberculosis are all different and some parents don’t get that.

💯💯💯 agree with you!! Nothing wrong about what you said/did!

thank you ! 🤗

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions on how vaccines are meant to work. Pre COVID not vaccinating YOUR child was controversial only because you are putting younger children with incomplete vaccinations at risk. IF YOUR CHILD IS VACCINATED and it is an effective vaccine that was properly vetted and tested👀👀👀👀 then your child will not catch whatever it is they are vaccinated for.

The flu vaccine is not included in this because the flu is constantly mutating so that way the disease can continue to survive. We are incapable of eradicating the flu for this reason. (Hense why the prefer to refer to it as the flu shot)

I think it’s crazy that in the age of access to all the info in the world literally being in your pocket there are people still blindly allowing their kids to get vaccinated because “your doctor told you so” and the “schools require you to” big pharma and those involved in politics hold hands.

though i see your point, even though you vaccinate your kid, been tested and vetted, a lot of vaccines do not always work. i recently found out one of the vaccines i had to have as a baby did not work so i recently had to get it again to protect my son. with someone like me with an immune disease, not everything works or i build immunity too. 🤷‍♀️ i personally think it has nothing to do with politics, i think it should be because you want to protect your kids. why do we have vaccines against diseases if we aren’t meant to protect ourselves? 🤷‍♀️ but i digress.

which vaccine?

the vaccine for mumps and measles i believe. i have to look at the paper they gave me
