Sickness bug and MIL

4 replies

DS is nearly 2 and is a virus sponge. He had a sickness bug three weeks ago which he gave to me and DP also.

A week ago (Monday afternoon) MIL came over to babysit for a couple of hours. The next morning she became ill with a sickness bug and blamed my DS for this.

DS then became ill with a sickness bug himself on Thursday afternoon. And I got it Saturday afternoon.

Now personally I'm not fussed where the bug came from, could have been from anywhere. Getting used to the constant illness.

But I'm a bit peeved that MIL is still proclaiming that she got ill from looking after DS, despite him being ill 2 weeks previous to her visit. Surely it's far more likely that she gave me and ds this current joyful illness?

What does everyone think? Any doctors about?

If your MIL became ill first then chances are she gave it to your DS.

Good reason for her not to come round, result! :o

Hmm well yes, but I suspect she's going to use this as a reason to never babysit again.

Och well!
