Hello I'm new to this forum and I've got a question!
We're a family of five, my husband, myself, my son (10) two step-daughters (3&7) and our six month old baby.
My husband has weekend visits from his daughters and that is usually just fine. However this past weekend was my sons tenth birthday party and we were not told that the girls had pneumonia, they were sent to our house anyways. Without any medicine mind you. I admit I'm over-cautious when it comes to sickness, but pneumonia? I would keep my kids home if they were that sick. I had a house full of boys and their parents, now our household is feeling very crummy. I'm worried about my baby girl, her cough is starting to sound pretty bad.
Do you think it's "business as usual" to send sick kids over for a weekend visitation, am I overreacting? My husband thinks I am. He just wants to see his girls and doesn't mind the cost of all of us getting sick. I mind though!
I just wonder if my way of thinking is in the minority or if you would feel the same. I think a phone call and giving us the option of opting out until they weren't running temps of 102 and 103 and coughing until almost throwing up was out of the picture.
Thank you in advance for your advice
