Me or friend AIBU?

[aibu2021]

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?

I agree with your friend OP. Even if it's not covid, why would she want to knowingly pick up a bug from you? Even if you're not unwell you could be carrying it.

Should you be meeting up anyway at the moment?

You are

Waiting for the rest of the story....

You are. Just because you're not showing cold symptoms yet doesn't mean u aren't contagious.

You are. Have they been tested. Thing is, I wouldn't particularly want a cold at any time, but now, if it leads to a temp, cough, loss of taste, you have isolation and testing to do. All totally unnecessary if sick people limit contact with others.

Really?

Have your kids actually been tested, or do you just know ‘its not covid’?

You

Totally you! This just surely be a reverse.

Colds are bad enough (I’m hoping the “carry on as normal with a cold” culture is over now) but do you actually know it’s not COVID?

Errr, you are, of course!

Sorry, you are. Covid has shown us that really we weren't being as careful with passing things before. Your friend doesn't want to end up ill
Just because you are fine doesn't mean you are not carrying something. Them being ill can affect a lot for them potentially

You are. Even slight slights are a pain to get at the moment if you end up getting a cough or temperature the impact is significant.

And would you really want to leave you children when they are not well?

Reverse I expect

Unless teens

You are

Reverse, or massive drip feed coming up!

You are, in case you don't know already.

You are

Why is this even a question?

You. And you know it is.

I had what I thought was ‘just a cold’ for nearly a week, then I lost my sense of taste. Had a test, and it was Covid. YABU.

Yooooooouuuuuuuuu

I was musing the other day that one of the upsides of COVID is that people would become less blasé about coughing abs sneezing over each other. Clearly not.

YABU. Even if it is "just a cold" then your friend doesn't want it.

Imagine if she caught the cold then had to take time off work etc...
