AITA?

It is never hygienic to share food, drinks, cups, cutlery, etc. Not unreasonable.

I don't want to scare you but there are worse infections that can be passed down to children through saliva.

I get so annoyed when my parents share their food with my baby. It proper pisses me off. I don't even share my food with my baby because of any potential germs and bugs I may give my LO. What's eors is that my mum actually gets a lot of cold sores and I don't want any chance of my little boy having to live with that for the rest of his life. It's infuriating that she won't listen and sneaks him her half eaten ice creams too. He is one he doesn't need ice cream! She doesn't even ask

I don’t blame you I hate getting sick myself. So I try to teach my kids no sharing food or drinks with anyone and no face touching. And no I don’t share my things with them and I always make them watch me wash hand before I do anything with their face. Our little girl is 5 so I try to lead by example.

No you’re not the asshole buttttt living in the same house will make everyone vulnerable to getting the same sickness regardless. So not sharing drinks etc will help but will not 100% prevent it.

I understand how frustrating it is but it’s a losing battle. My step daughter will come home from college sick to my mother in laws house. It will take a week for it to show in my mother in law so in the meantime she’s out with me and then I get sick, my husband gets sick, my kids get sick, now both houses have the sickness by the time my step daughter feels fine again and it’s so annoying lol.

i mean, you’re not unreasonable to not want him to share food or drink with other people, however the fact you live together suggests to me you all may have got ill anyway regardless on whether or not food/drink was shared. usually if someone in a household gets ill, it usually gets passed around the household anyway.

It's not unreasonable to be against them sharing food or drink. But you live together so he'd probably have got it anyway.

Assuming you're living in their place, I'd let it slide but remind about not sharing food or drink.

I don't think you're overreacting about having boundaries around sharing food. However, living together it's likely y'all would have caught whatever sickness he had even without sharing of food. That's just the price paid for living with a group of people

Not over reacting but most likely would have got it anyway

If he isn't cleaning his CPAP, it could be that he did get sick because of that.

I'd say no sharing too because regardless of how he got sick, he was sick and never should have shared with your son.

You are not overreacting at all! Not only can sickness be spread through sharing of food and drink but so can cold sores and cavities. It's so annoying when someone is obviously sick but they try to downplay it or pass it off as allergies or something.

I think it’s completely unreasonable to think your little one is not going to share food or drinks. Whether I share with my kids or not they will find or steal something. You know how many times my kiddo is drinking from my straw when I wasn’t looking. We went to my mom’s house and my son stole her drink when he had his own. It’s not like FIL wanted to get your son sick.

Not overreacting at all!!!! ITS YOUR BABY, AND IF YOU SAY NO ITS NOOOOOO!!!!!
