Me or friend AIBU?

My children are off school with very bad colds (not covid!)
I want to see my friend at her house tonight we had this arranged however she's backed out last second saying that it's not a good idea to meet while my DC are poorly as she can't risk being unwell at the moment which has upset me as it's not covid and I'm not unwell.
Whose being unreasonable?

You are

AnathemaPulsifer · 17/03/2021 18:34

You are.

Cabinfever10 · 17/03/2021 18:34

Yabu nobody wants your cold

BaronessBomburst · 17/03/2021 18:34

Agreed. You are.

BaronessBomburst · 17/03/2021 18:35

Hang on - this is a reverse isn't it?

Groovee · 17/03/2021 18:35

Your children are poorly enough to be off school. Then you have to accept that your friend has a right to say no to you visiting and possibly passing it on.

JaquelineBeanstalk · 17/03/2021 18:35

Totally you. You can rearrange when they are better, no biggie.

OfTheNight · 17/03/2021 18:35

I think you are. You might not be poorly now but you could be poorly later (hopefully not), or you could pass the bug on to your friend. Just because it’s not Covid, doesn’t mean people want to get ill.

FelicityPike · 17/03/2021 18:36

You are.

MarleytheDog · 17/03/2021 18:37

You are. If you are in the UK you shouldn’t be meeting up in friends houses - especially if your kids are germy!

SeeYouInAnotherLife · 17/03/2021 18:37

What? We’re in the middle of a pandemic. Of course YABU. Confused

Mum497 · 17/03/2021 18:37

Sorry but you are the one being unreasonable.

ChorltonWheelie · 17/03/2021 18:37

Its you

iloverock · 17/03/2021 18:37

Why on earth would you want to spread your kids germs to your friends. If you've got a cold stay away

Autumn101 · 17/03/2021 18:38

You are

AnneLovesGilbert · 17/03/2021 18:38

You are. And I hope this last year changes how people view sharing their germs with others who might then catch them.

If this is a reverse, don’t be so annoying.

Pumperthepumper · 17/03/2021 18:39

Definitely a reverse.

Morgoth · 17/03/2021 18:39

You are.

zzizzer · 17/03/2021 18:39

Why would anyone be upset about this?

calimommy · 17/03/2021 18:40

Have we learned nothing from the past year? If you OR ANY OF YOUR CLOSE CONTACTS are poorly, stay home. No one wants your sniffles or cough. You probably still carry some of it even if you aren't suffering symptoms.

Birdslovesinging · 17/03/2021 18:41

Even if there was no pandemic, you'd still be the unreasonable one!

Giantrooster · 17/03/2021 18:41

You

Soubriquet · 17/03/2021 18:41

Reverse

No way would you have posted this

EdersonsSmileyTattoo · 17/03/2021 18:41

You are.
