For a bit of background my son’s birthday party (he will be one) is on Saturday. My MIL called my husband yesterday (Wednesday) and asked him to drive her to the hospital because she was too sick to drive. She was diagnosed with a viral infection of the throat and a couple of other things, I’m not sure exactly what but I know she was also given antibiotics.

We have a lot of kids coming to this party, one is under 3 months old, and two of them are brothers who are immuno-compromised.

I told my husband she cannot come under any circumstance because I do not feel comfortable putting my son or any other child at risk of getting sick. If 3 days before the party she was so miserable she couldn’t even drive, then my thoughts are even if she’s feeling better Saturday she should sit it out.

My husband feels that if she’s feeling better she should get to come. I feel like I’m going crazy because he also doesn’t want me to tell anyone, even the parents of the newborn and immuno-compromised kids, that she’s sick.

I need y’all to give it to me straight. Am I being crazy or should she stay home? I even told him when she’s 100% better I will throw a whole other party just for her and buy a cake and everything.
