Family germ exposure issues

NanaOf8Girls · Dec 10, 2008

Geeze, I wouldn't let this go without letting them know how i feel. I am like a Mama Bear when it comes to my family. This is a time for families to come together and making new memories that your sister wants to leave your little one out of all together. Please don't give up on this. Grrrrrr........I am dealing with something like this with my daughter in law and I know how hurt feelings can get if this is allowed to continue(especially for a yr) What does she think that after a yr they can then take a chance of letting their child near Becca? People act like they have a contagious disease. It makes me so mad. I think ignorance of CF is what breeds fear into people. But shame on your sister..................

Thanks everyone for all the comments. I have provided my family with tons of reading about CF in the past and it has not really made a difference. The funniest thing about this is my sister is a nurse and works with CF kids, so she knows the facts, but when it comes to the family she chooses to ignore them. I have had alot of issues with her over Becca's CF already. Part of me thinks it is because Becca is adopted, but that may be stretching a bit.

Michelle, we have already gone several rounds with her sick kid with a fever and cough being around Becca. In the past she has given her son MOtrin to bring his fever down so I did not know he was sick when they were around and then she calls me the next day to tell me he was sick. She did this at my kid's birthday party this year.

Liza, as far as how my parents feel, my mom died of cancer before my kids were born and my dad has been emotionally absent since then. He does not intervene at all and says that we are adults and need to work it our amongst ourselves. Usually if he does take sides though it is with my sister, because her husband and his family are vocal and her inlaws can be abusive.

When I have put up with a lot of crap from other people and they feel overly entitled to me treating them well while they continue to crap on me, I start wondering "What's my motivation?" Often, I conclude I can live without them in my life -- or with a lot less of them.

Peace. And good luck with this.

The fact that she is a nurse now makes her even more of an idiot. And that she has brought her sick kids drugged up to hide that they are sick around Becca just goes to show u how selfish she is.

I am again really sorry you have to deal with this and have her for a sister. I do not think you are wrong or stretching things thinking that it could have something do do with Becca being adopted. You may be right. But this is her problem, not yours. Becca is just as much your child as your sister's baby that she gave birth to is to her. You need to stand up for you daughter Becca and tell your sister she either accepts Becca as a healthy normal child or she does not any longer have u as a sister

I would not stay away from the family event if you really want to go there. I would just show up, if she doesn't want u around the baby, then she can be the one to leave.
