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.

OMG - so shocked with this! I assume you are out of the house tuna. Stay at your mums until your DH confirms that he has bleached the place. Can;t believe your MIL said NO. I quite simply can't believe that!!!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 15/10/2010 21:59

DandyLioness - it would be for me too, I would never feel that DH was 100% on my side again.

OP I hope you are out of there, do NOT allow yourself to be persuaded to stay.

I think OP has officially won the prize for worst PIL today...

curlymama · 15/10/2010 22:00

Angry for you!

You are doing the right thing by leaving, but quite frankly, your DH is an arse if he is prepared to let you drive all that way with a tiny baby rather than force his parents out of the house.

Show him this thread, something needs to make him realise how unreasonable he is being, and how utterly selfish he is allowing his parents to be.

booooooooooyhoo · 15/10/2010 22:00

i cannot believe they would rather a mother and 7 week old were out of their own home and possible infected than for them simply to have stayed at home.

i mean who even wants to visit people when you are sick. you just want your own bed and comforts.

and surely they realise that tehy aren't actually going to see their grandchild now, which is the reason tehy came?

stupid fuckwits

I am absolutely dumbfounded for you op!

Leave them to it & refuse to return home until they have left & your twat of a husband has bleached everywhere.

MoralDefective · 15/10/2010 22:02

Same as everyone elseAngry........fall out with them?...i rather think they've fallen out with you....go to your Mum's if possible,call NHS direct....they may want fil to go to hospital...and the baby will need checking over.....fucking mental.

ladders · 15/10/2010 22:02

Pleased to hear you have somewhere to go - but think did you kiss/hug/use toilet/touch door handles/take coffee cup off FIL......scrupilous cleaning of hands required!

savoycabbage · 15/10/2010 22:02

You poor thing! and no. YANBU. Hope you are out now. It's a good idea to go to your Mums as you must be feeling awful.

Vallhalloween · 15/10/2010 22:02

I beg your pardon! MIL refused to leave YOUR house??

MIL and FIL would have been fucking well forcibly ejected by now if I were you.

I'm not very impressed by your DH either who is first an idiot for not IMMEDIATELY telling his parents that their visit was unacceptable and secondly a wimp for not removing them himself when they refused to leave.

Jesus I'd be threatening them with a rolling pin by now! I am normally the first to criticise people for being precious over their DC but even I can see how wrong the PIL are.

Sorry, I'm rambling and ranting, but I'm SO fuming for you.

booooooooooyhoo · 15/10/2010 22:02

go and bang the bloody door and tell them what they are making you do. tell them that tehy are a pair of selfish twats and that they have risked your DD's health.

taintedpaint · 15/10/2010 22:03

OMFG I am so angry on your behalf. How dare they show up knowing one of them is ill to that extent? I wouldn't care if they were desperate to see the baby, you just don't do that!

Fucking hell.

Good on you for leaving. Can't bloody believe your MIL said no to leaving. What were her exact words? I just can't get my head round them turning up and then refusing to leave! What bastards.

Don't go back home while they are there and make sure your DH has thoroughly disinfected everything before you set foot in the house again.

IMoveTheStars · 15/10/2010 22:03

BTW, when I had it, I came down with it on the Saturday. DS got it. DP got it. DS's friend got it, all by Monday. Friend's DH and DSis got it.

I recovered. We had bleached everything,.AND THEN I GOT IT AGAIN.

On the positive side, I did lose 18lb in a single week Hmm

[snarl] @ your fucking inlaws... Angry

IMoveTheStars · 15/10/2010 22:05

Take care of yourself & your baby op.

Hedgeblunder · 15/10/2010 22:06

Oh lord tuna! I'm glad you've got something sorted out,you poor thing. Fucking idiots. Hope you manage to get there and settled ok, let us know how you get on x

ShrimpOnTheBarbie · 15/10/2010 22:06

I would go to your mums. If he's been using the toilet the germs will be there too and the last thing you need is to get it too. If you're bfeeding your baby is more likely not to get it but I can tell you from experience that D&V when you have a little baby is horrible (Shrimp remembering having to whip DD2 off mid-feed in the middle of the night to run the the toilet a number of times when we all had D&V when she was just tiny).

MarianneM · 15/10/2010 22:06

Yes, please let us know how you and the baby are later. Best wishes!

CwtchyBlueMama · 15/10/2010 22:08

Is it just me hoping that the fil shits all over the mil in the night?
