Ds wants gf to stay for the weekend when she's ill

[freydamum]

My 18 yr old son's GF was supposed to come and stay this weekend. He now tells me she's ill. I have said I'd rather wait till next weekend as I'm already fighting a bug and don't want to be exposed to another while my immunity is low. He thinks I'm being totally unreasonable. He's also getting over an illness so says he doesn't feel up to going to stay with her. She's at uni so there are all the freshers flu going around . What do people think? Am I being selfish or sensible ?

Absolutely not and Freshers flu is likely to be Covid!

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor thanks that's true ! I got the boardmasters variant back in 2020 through high viral load in the house when he got back and was ill for weeks!

Sensible. She’s not your child, she’s a guest. Just wait until she feels better or he can go and see her.

YANBU. At all

You're not being unreasonable, and the thing is that if she's feeling ill she won't want to be travelling either. He is the unreasonable one for expecting her to travel.

I hope he listened and she didn't come. I understand why teenagers can be so selfish but sometimes it really does astound me.

Hope you're all feeling a bit better
