I know I've brought this topic up before. I'm not a clean freak, germaphobe by any means, but I'm having a tough time dealing with relatives, inlaws who show up to family events sick because they just don't want to miss out.
What brought this to mind was MY family this past weekend. My parents were visiting and my brother & nephew showed up to see them and my nephew sounded AWFUL. Like he had tons of junk in his lungs. He didn't seem sick and I was beside myself with worry. I was thinking -- geez, I'm ready to protest holidays and tell people they just aren't welcome in our home anymore to stay. Last month my niece has pnemonia, aunts and cousins at previous holiday events.
I briefly mentioned my concerns to my husband. And he reassured me that DS will be okay. That he probably won't get sick from being around my nephew because -- my 15 year old nephew has a SMOKER'S cough. The kid apparently smoked like a chimney, outside the entire time he vistied.
Anyway, end of rant. Still worried about ds btw. But how do others deal with inconsiderate family members
