Ready To Show My True Colors
So in an attempt to keep this as short as possible I'll do a quick back story and a brief synapses of what's going on now.
My husband and I have been married 4 years this October. We are expecting our second child this October and our son will be 3 in October as well. My husband is White and I am Black. I say those only to reference there are some huge cultural differences between our families and we're working on establishing our own family "norm".
My husbands parents live in our area, his mom is actually three doors down the street after going through a divorce in Augist. My parents are 1000 miles away from us, so we only see them once a year.
We had a house fire in November and didn't get back in our home until January. While we were arranging our house we but a lot of house stuff we don't use in our spare room and closed the door. We recently started cleaning that room to use as a nursery for our coming baby.
I've had a series of issues with my in laws regarding hygiene and cleanliness. I've discussed them with my husband and allowed him to deal with his parents as he sees fit. My biggest issue is his mom and dad coming around or picking up our son when they are sick and not telling us. They have exposed him to ringworm multiple times some seriously bad colds. My husband and I don't find out about illnesses until after the fact.
Yesterday I asked my husband to message his parents and ask them to clean and sterilize their homes with bleach and Lysol. This is in attempt to kill the germs and bacteria floating between their homes since they like to have our son and he keeps getting sick. His mother messaged back immediately in total defense. He sent her another message saying it's not a personal attack we're just trying to protect the kids.
His dad sent him a message today asking if he can get our son from daycare tomorrow. My husband said that was fine and asked if he had a chance to sanitize his home. His dad then responds "No I haven't and No I don't plan to. How about I just won't get him tomorrow. I don't know what's your problem and frankly I don't give a fuck."
When I read that I instantly got pissed!! First off I don't appreciate how he's disrespecting my husband in the way he's addressing him. Secondly, where so you get off being pissed because we don't want you infecting our kids??
So my husband hasn't responded and I'm ready to go off. Thoughts please!
