SIL BRINGING NEPHEW WITH SICKNESS AND DIARRHEA?

[hifi]

sil just phoned to say she is going to lunch with someone and is dropping her son off, he has the above, my dd is off school with same ailment and i dont want dd2 to get it.aibu to say dont bring him in?not sure if im being precious?

No, he shouldn't be going anywhere, he will want his mum and you will all be miserable.

He really should be at home with his own creature comforts. Tell your SIL to bugger off.

hes 14 by the way and she has just taken him to a separate hospital visit so is dumping him on me so she can swan to lunch.

She probably thinks that if your dd has it, then your dd2 will be catching it from her anyway.

But I think it's very inconsiderate of her.

Especially for her son, who will probably be feeling really miserable and will want to be at home.

im more worried about me getting it, everyones buggered then.just left her a message asking her to call back.

I would tell her to get knotted

I really would

The last thing you need when you are looking after ill children of your own is someone else's poorly child.

YANBU. She should have the sense to not be taking her son anywhere when he is sick with that.

14? Can't he stay at home by himself?

YANBU how selfish of her, she should be with him not going out when he is sick like that and infecting other people.

She's taken him to hospital whilst he's got d and v?

oh he is 14 still its unfair of her to bring him to you like that and expect to look after him whilst she goes to lunch, its not like an emergency that she has to be somewhere.

have had a word and she said we would all get it anyway as dd1 has it! said i would prefer her not to bring him and she said ,in a huff, she would have to cancel her lunch.di dums.

pmsl at it being your fault she has to cancel lunch

I would have thought that your DD and her DS could have different strains of the d & v bug anyway. In which case everyone will be sick twice. Nice. Stand your ground.

why doesn't she just drag him along to the lunch, then he can infect even more people

selfish cow. DOn't give it any more thought.

I am hifi what a selfish woman. So she expects you to look after her sick ds, drag him out from the comfort of his own home to your house, expect YOU to clean up after him if he has an accident (and yes i can happen even in adults, it happened to me . Then infect your own dcs with it, like someone said it could be a different strain, all because she wants to go for lunch, sorry her problem not yours,good on you. I had D&V last year, while me and my dd got it bad my dh did not get it, lucky for some.

i really really hope she did not take him to hospital with a D&V

how horrible

i don't use the word lightly, but she sounds very selfish

her son needs to be at home, being looked after, you don't need any more stress with one sick child

why can't he stay home by himself?

you were right btw.

the hospital is near us so instead of dropping him back home she thought she would save time by dropping hinm hear.

Actually she sounds clueless and a complete tw*t.

Who the hell does she think she is?

And I agree, why can't the 14 year old be left alone at home? All he needs is a sofa, a pillow and a sick bucket, poor chap.

He is 14?! Why is she dragging him around? He is old enough to be left. Why does he need looking after?

Your SIL sounds very self centred, is she prone to just dumping her children on you?

dunno, if I had a 14 year old puking and pooing, i would probably stay with them if poss, at the least to ensure there was a bucket by the bed and to bring fluids etc...
