I think of it as common courtesy to inform people before you see them that your child is sick and allow them to make the call. It's exactly why my family postponed our Christmas celebration to this Saturday- my son and my sister and her daughter were sick the days before and we weren't willing to possibly spread that among our family! Even if it had just been my son, I would have opted to stay home and save my family the germs.

I don't think it's selfish at all.

Our nieces came to stay with us for 10 days. BIL's ex just sprung on him yesterday over FaceTime after the girls arrived that the youngest has the flu. I think she's exaggerating about the flu but she's definitely sick.

I am understandably very worried that M will catch it. But we're just going to do the best we can to keep M protected.

Every single time DH is around my nephew he gets sick. LOL But it doesn't prevent us to see them. I don't know I guess I would never not see my nieces and nephews for fear of M getting sick. She gets sick from daycare and we can't not send her to daycare.

Is there anything she does that you could avoid contact when you are together to help lessen the exchange of germs? Does she get in his face? Does she touch his hands? Does he play with her toys? Limiting those types of things may help.
