Would you go?

Question

There’s a family reunion happening today and my aunt is having everyone over to swim and hang out. 
Well I’ve got an almost 1 year old and I called my sister to see if her and her 3 boys are going and she says yes but her oldest (8) possibly has strep. Should I just not take my son and just go to the family lunch tomorrow instead?
This also happened at Christmas this past year.  “Oh but they’re feeling better” guess who got strep? EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY. Including me, my son wasn’t old enough at the time to have strep but he did get a cold.

Answer

Heck no. I find it horribly rude that any family member would bring kid that are even possibly sick - let alone freaking strep - to a huge event like that. So selfish, and I’m all irritated FOR you! Lol But I know you can’t control them, so just avoid the risk.

Answer

If they want to get pissed at you for a decision to protect your infant from a serious infection, that’s a them problem, not a you problem.

Answer

I wouldn’t go, but I’d just like to say I think it’s really unfair that you should even have to question going. The sick people are the ones who shouldn’t go!?

Answer

Nope! I wouldn't. My baby girl catches EVERYTHING. And then my husband and I get it. Current situation. 😑 doesn't take much and it's not worth I!

Answer

I wouldn't. My twins just turned one and if someone even has a cold, get the fuck away. Once one baby is sick my family of seven will be suffering for a month🙄

Answer

I would not go. I wouldn't want to risk my son getting sick of I was in your situation.

Answer

Your aunt should tell your sister that her son needs to stay home or stay in a bedroom away from everyone 🤣 that’s pretty inconsiderate for her to bring her kid with something like that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Answer

I would go and just ask that the 8 year old stay away from the baby. It’s only because you know that you are questioning it. You never know what kind of sickness the person in front of you at the grocery store has.

Answer

Unpopular opinion here... I would go. Your kids are exposed to junk anywhere you go. I’d be happy I got a heads up so I can be careful to not let her sick kid kiss on my baby. I LOVE hanging at family events and would take the risk of getting sick.
