DS and I have had a rotten run of luck in the health stakes. Between the 2 of us, we've been healthy for a grand total of 4 weeks since Christmas. He had gotten over his last very nasty bug (vomiting, 40C temp, shivers) a week before Mother's Day. I had had rotten sinusitis for about two weeks, finally shaking it a few days before Mother's Day too.
Mum and Dad came with my DSis for lunch on Mother's Day. Dad walks in the house and the first thing he does is cough ALL OVER me. Apparently he has a chest infection which he's on antibiotics for, and spends the first 2 hours of the visit lying sleeping because he's so ill!!
My poor sister has now been flattened with his cough, my glands are up with a headache and neckache starting, and DS is complaining of a sore throat.
I'm so furious because he's just wandered on in and made us both ill AGAIN - I've just started a new job and can't take time off (either for myself or for DS to cover when he's at nursery) and DH has solid work commitments for the next 6 days that are immovable (massive launch happening) so he can't take time off either.
I know they worship DS, which makes it even more annoying that they didn't think about him and how unwell he's been. I almost feel like they were selfishly just interested in seeing him and spending time with him without thinking through the consequences to him of spending time with them when one of them is sick.
AIBU in thinking that they should really have mentioned that he was sick before coming up? TBH I don't even know what I would've done with that information - I definitely would've felt pretty shitty cancelling mother's day celebrations and stopping them from coming up. But I just wish I'd had the option of thinking about it, weighing it up, talking it through with DH rather than not having any choice at all.
