MIL problems

[ticklemegreen]

Today my MIL called me to see what she needed to bring on her trip down next week. She casually brought up the H1N1 vaccine, she was wondering if it would be avaiable to me, because I work with kids and she thinks I should get it. I explained that I am pretty sure it will be available to me, but I'm not comfortable taking it and have no plans to. I didn't really go into it any further (I know from previous conversations that she is pro-vaccination) I do not think she knows I am anti-vac. I've read a bit of information on H1N1 and the vaccine, but not too much as I didn't need much convincing not to take it. But I would love a articles that I could maybe email to her. I do not think she's researched the subject and I think it woudl be nice to supply her with a little bit of information. So any articles you can point me to I would really appreciate!

My advice is to not get wrapped up in it with her. Just say firmly "we've made the decision that is best for our family and will not be receving this vaccine." If she continues to harp on it, just tell her flatly it's not up for discussion, pass the peas.

Yeah....when I mentioned my idea to dh he said the same thing. I don't want to have a debate with her just wanted to give her a little more information, but oh well :-)
