In laws arrived 1/2 hour ago for planned weeks stay. Unbeknown to me or dh, fil has norovirus. He said he has been vomiting and has diarrhoea since 3am.

We have a 7 week old baby who has a cold.

I am so fucking livid at how stupid they are. Me and dh have just had a massive row in the bedroom because I think they should go and stay in a hotel, I don't want my baby infected.

Dh said I am being totally unfair as they have driven down to see the baby.

I said I would pay for a hotel.

MIL said NO???

What a fuckin bitch.

Get your stuff together & take yourself off to the hotel tonight,then in the morning get your dh to bring the rest of the things you need for a weeks stay at your mums & drive there then.

I am bloody livid for you??

Are you in North Wales? If so i will come round for you.

The toilet stinks of rotten pork. Just went in there to get babys bath stuff.

Going to my mums. I am so angry. Mil just asked me for a bucket for the side of the bed.

I feel like getting divorced.

Make dh sterilise the bathroom thoroughly then tell him to bleach the rest of the house constantly.

So unreasonable. Angry

ladders · 15/10/2010 21:53

There is a reason why patients in hospial are isolated with norovirus and not allowed any visitors - even surplus staff are not allowed to enter the ward. Also we are not allowed back to work (with patients) until 48 HOURS (!!) after the last bit of D&V has been and gone...........Go now!!!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 15/10/2010 21:53

I can't believe she won't leave! That is so bloody rude.

You will have to stay away until they have gone and it is more than 48 hours since your DH was in their company. And make sure he cleans the bathrooms properly before you come back.

maktaitai · 15/10/2010 21:54

Hmm, tbh I wouldn't get your dh to bring you anything, he'll be Infected by then...

winnybella · 15/10/2010 21:54

Yes, make sure you use some anti bacterial gel on your hands.

You go and stay with your mum/ or go to the hotel for tonight and then to your mum tomorrow and let your h take care of these twats. He'll have to bleach the house before you come back, as well.

ASecretLemonadeDrinker · 15/10/2010 21:54

OMG

HalloweeseG · 15/10/2010 21:54

A bucket????? What is he a child! Tell him to infect the nearest Travellodge lavatory.

I am incensed on your behalf.

Hedgeblunder · 15/10/2010 21:54

I can't believe I'm Reading this!!!!

pissedrightoff · 15/10/2010 21:54

What fucking idiots! Get you and your tiny baby out (and take all the fucking toilet roll with you moohahaha)

Very selfish of them.

booooooooooyhoo · 15/10/2010 21:54

OMG, they were asked to leave someone's house and they said no???

are tehy for real. who do they think tehy are that they can do this to a newborn baby???

seriously i cannot believe they are so rude and obnoxious as to stay in a house where they know they are not welcome. (i know you would welcome them if not sick). you are right. go to your mums. and then i would be having serious words with yoru DG when you get back.

actually no, i would go to their room now and tell them to leave your house.

winnybella · 15/10/2010 21:55

I would tell mil to fuck off, frankly. Do they know you're leaving with the baby because of them?

LynetteScavo · 15/10/2010 21:56

Yes, go to your mums.

And don't return home until DH has disinfected the house.

ARRGGHHHH on your behalf.. I have HAD norovirus. DS got is at 9mo, passed it on to his friend and all of us were infected within 48 hours. it was HORRIFIC>

DISINFECT absolutely everything, and get out of the house. God, poor you. I feel like drop kicking them on your behalf!! Fucking idiots Angry

Do you have hand stelising stuff? Wash hands, wash baby, and on leaving the house disinfect your hands again.

Fucking hell...

and it goes without saying.. YANBU!!!

saffy85 · 15/10/2010 21:57

YANBU get them the fuck out of your house this minute. D and V can be incredibly dangerous for a tiny baby. What the fucking fuck are they thinking?

In situations like this, who gives a rats arse if you fall out with the inlaws? If they don't leave do as others suggest and take baby to a hotel. And refuse to come back til DH has cleaned the whole house top to bottom!

That's so selfish of them. I feel sorry for your fil having it, I can't understand how he was ok to travel to see you.
Run away! Hope you are ok.

TwistAndShout · 15/10/2010 21:58

This is crazy! Get out now.

As they're already in your house, you may as well leave as they'll have infected everything. Have they been holding the baby?

maktaitai · 15/10/2010 21:58

I have to say, having had a norovirus 2 weeks ago, that having arrived now he probably will struggle to move again. And tbh the bucket by the bed is better than puke on the carpet.

But they REALLY shouldn't have come. And I hope they are making it easy for you to leave.

CwtchyBlueMama · 15/10/2010 21:58

How the frig has he driven for hrs with d&v? Eurgh i bet their car friggen stinks.

Your poor baby,having to leave his warm cot this time of night because of a selfish pair of twats!

I would just let them wake up tomorrow & realise you werent there.

Tinalovestuna · 15/10/2010 21:59

I don't think they care tbh. They have gone to bed.

My mum called my brother who lives about 20 mins drive from me, I am going there tonight and mums tomo and will stay there until fil is better.

Baby hasn't been near either of them and I have stayed away so hopefully everything will be ok.

Norovirus is very highly infectious - the nurse on the ward where I work said it can spread in the air for up to 20 metres away?!?!

Don't want to panic you, but you are all probably all infected already. Sad

What stupid fuckers do this to a 7 week old baby? And to say no when asked to leave?

Take their credit card and book your hotel room on it. Also buy any baby stuff with it since yours will be infected. And stay in your hotel room for at least 48 hours until you know you aren't both infected too, as you wouldn't want to pass it on. Also the hotel wouldn't be too impressed if you let on you have been exposed to norovirus and then come to them....so try and minimise the risk by staying in the room.

Am absolutely LIVID on your behalf.
