i dont feel i am excessive...i just dont want my daughter in the church nursury during winter months when other kids are sick and i TRY to make sure everyone uses hand sanitizer, i have an air purifier in my home and dont spray any chemicals to clean or use any perfumes etc...i dont take her out much when it is really cold (below 20), it seems she has difficulty breathing if i do. i take her to the market, shopping, to visit friends if i know they have been well, its not like i keep her secluded. but lately, i have been finding out that members of my family make comments to others outside of the family (at church, etc..) that all of these precautions are not necessary, and that i am going to extremes, etc. i even received a letter from my aunt telling me to "let my child live a normal life"!! i almost feel afraid to allow my daughter to be alone for fear that they will not follow the precautions.
