How would you feel if??
You met up with your sick SIL (she didn’t tell you she was sick) for lunch with your 2mo baby, she only told you she was sick toward the end of your lunch, saying how she feels dizzy, rough and has a high temp - and that she’d had it all night, and THEN asks to cuddle your baby - in which you respond “no because you’re unwell” and she says “I’m not /that/ unwell” and gets annoyed at YOU as if you’re being controlling🤯

She’s a dumbass & I’d be furious.
She’s being selfish and inconsiderate.
I always like to come back with, what if you cause something my child dies from?! How mean and controlling will you think I am then!
They have no idea how what they have will present in an infant. Can a baby tell you they’re dizzy? No?
Seems like she didn’t think and probably has no kids, therefore doesn’t know what it means to have a sick baby..
But don’t carry the anger as this just costs you energy that you need for you and your baby. ❤️🩹 just let her know to tell you next time if she feels sick-ish before you meet. And then let it go. That’s how I’d say
she has a 3 year old 😫 she seems to do this kind of thing all the time
Be honest with her, just tell her straight up. As soon as you see she is unwell (there’s bound to be obvious symptoms snotty nose, dry throat, cough, red nose, puffy eyes), tell her you’re leaving and why. Yes she’s your sister and no she might not have told you before hand but take the wheel. You’re the mother get up and leave..
This is the second post I’ve seen about SILs spreading illnesses. I’d be Pissed off.
No id be pissed! When my son was about 2 months old I was meant to go to lunch with a “friend”, then just before we were going to go (a day or two) she told me she was sick but kept playing it off, I rescheduled and explained my immune system cannot take other sick people and my baby was way too young to be getting exposed rn. Rescheduled for a few months down the line, I made sure she was well before heading out. We met up, had lunch and part way through lunch she started coughing a nasty cough! We were eating Ethiopian food so eating with our hands! After I heard that I held onto my son and tried to stay away as best as possible. Safe to say, a few days later I got horribly sick! Horrible chest infection and the cough lasted for months! I think my son got antibodies through the milk but I was pissed! Refused to meet with her again as she kept downplaying it saying it was just “the weather changes causing her to feel hot and cold”! Nah sorry!
