Want to cancel dinner guests

[behappy1736]

AIBU?
We have arranged dinner guests to come round for dinner this weekend and I've just spoken to them now and one has 'a sniffle' but in her words 'is completely fine and not contagious' errrrrm that's rubbish. Of course what ever you've got is contagious.
I have health anxiety so it's making me anxious the thought of them coming round with my DS (5) and all this strep A going round I don't want him catching anything.
When I mentioned my worries she said oh honestly I'm fine I wouldn't come if I was feeling rough. 😐
We go away in a few weeks and I didn't want anyone in our house catching anything before we go.
But then DS is at school, and we are out and about as normal so I feel like maybe I'm being silly.
What do you think?
am I being a paranoid pain in the bum?

A bit.

But she mentioned ‘the sniffle’ so clearly wants some attention for it.

Cancel and tell her to rest in bed until it’s gone.

Sorry but this is a complete over reaction to a sniffle.

It’s just dropped from about 10’degrees to -4 in
the space of a week, everyone’s a bit grotty. I’d continue as normal

You're going to be struggling to avoid germs at the moment, especially with your son being in school. I work in an infant school and the kids are all full of cold and their personal hygiene is revolving!
If you're not going to be able to enjoy the evening by inviting germs into your home then by all means cancel or rearrange.
Depending on how much they understand your anxiety may depend on how miffed the guests feel about it, especially while your son is mixing with all the yukky children at school.

You're being irrational, understand because you have health anxiety. My best friend does too and sometimes she needs me to tell her outright that she is being irrational.

As you say yourself, your child is at SCHOOL. You can't avoid colds, flu etc.

I’m torn because my youngest is a little under the weather and I’ve cancelled our play date tomorrow, v open and transparent with the other mum. If it wasnt the last wk of school we may have risked it but I don’t want to be responsible for any of her kids getting sick and her eldest missing the first Christmas week at school (reception). Yes of course people can still get sick but it’s different inviting it into your home.

Redic.
