WIBTA if I chew out my BIL for getting my kid sick?
My partner's family like to play fast and loose with germs. They always come to family events no matter how sick they are. This time my BIL came with his obviously snotty and coughing toddler, and let him kiss my six month old on the mouth multiple times. Cue us having to go to emergency 4 days later with bronchiolitis. Should I send angry messages? Or leave it? My baby is napping right now and needs to be constantly comforted as he wakes from blocked breaths.

That's what I'm thinking, but I also want him to know what happened so they hopefully start to take it more seriously. This isn't even the first time someone in this family showed up sick as a dog, cuddled my baby and got him sick and he's only 6 months.
Sounds to me like something your partner needs to handle as it’s their family. It’s their job to ensure boundaries are being followed- including not interacting with baby when sick.
thanks, that's a good point. I didn't ask because I didn't want to be like I was making him do my dirty work but yeah honestly this is something he should handle
It’s not your dirty work when not only is it his child too, but it’s his family who needs checked!
Let your partner handle it. I’m in a similar situation and I refuse to address it because it’s not my direct family member.
