I'd go bonkers!

YANBU, your FIL is a selfish tosser!

Inconsiderate twat. I'd be furious...

Let's hope it was something he ate & not a bug.

Selfish fil

Annie that's what's worrying me, I've a feeling I heard somewhere that these things are almost always bugs rather than food poisoning.

What do we do now? We can't ask him to leave can we?

Slightly heartened that it's not just me.

It depends on his constitution. A couple of weeks ago we made lattes, I took a mouthful & felt it wasn't 'right'. I checked and the milk was in date, but I threw mine away. Himself didn't & drank the whole mug. I woke up in the night and spent the night ill. Himself didn't It was definitely that as everything else I'd had was bland & biting fine. Toast, crackers, banana etc. Also, if it was only 'this morning' it might just have been an upset tummy, Bugs tend to last longer.

You could ask him to leave, but as he's already been there a while, it's probably a bit late to do much good. Although if he lived closer I would.


Gahhhhhh. Why are people so STUPID?

He was here for 3 hrs before he mentioned it! He has gone to bed now. If it was me I would have waited 24 hours at least, I just don't get it. I am now going to have to spend the rest of the weekend hassling the kids to wash their hands every 10 mins and I am currently Zoflora-ing all the doorknobs.

What a stupid thoughtless thing to have done. I'd not be impressed at all but no good getting him to leave, you may already be infected. Fingers crossed it was something he ate and I'd make a point of telling him that you wish he'd told you before he came. To be honest, if he'd had norovirus there's no way he'd have been able to drive for 5 minutes let alone 5 hours.........

Nope YANBU

You don't bring a bug to someone elses house! I hope you pull him up on it. Appalling manners. "Keep a d&v bug to yourself next time! Dont visit others people's houses til you are well . It could ruin DC's trip!" Buy more dettoll!!!

Jane that's true, I've had noro and couldn't have driven to the end of the road never mind all the way down the M6 and M5. I said "you shouldn't have come if you weren't well" but he just said "Well, I'm here now" so he obviously took it the wrong way!

That's a bit thoughtless of him. Maybe he didn't think it through?

YANBU at all. That is a really thoughtless thing to do.

Has he been unwell at yours since arriving?

Has he been unwell at yours since arriving?

No vomiting but has been to the loo a lot. Luckily our spare room is downstairs so he can have the downstairs toilet to himself.

It is thoughtless, but I do think MN is a bit of a weird place when it comes to talking about bugs. Most of my family just say they have a bit of a dicky tummy. They wash their hands after the toilet and it doesn't spread like bubonic plague or anything. The honest-to-god chances of him passing it on must be low.

He is being inconsiderate but is it possible he is just lonely and was really looking forward to seeing you all? My dps have just left and dm wasn't really well enough to visit (undergoing chemotherapy) but they were desperate to see a big football match of ds. Dm of course ended up being unable to go and she spent most of her stay lying in her room.

He is dick. He has no idea about accountability or consequences for his actions. Tell him he can look after the chldren should they fall ill with his bug.
