Okay today is FMIL's birthday and we are supposed to go over there

Last Friday FSIL had 105 fever and she was diagnosed with the flu, she had a low grade fever even yesterday. She has three kids and none of them have any symptoms as of now. I have my flu shot.

FH called FMIL to make sure that no one was sick today so I can come to dinner. FMIL said in a nice way 'If Matilde is scared of getting sick, tell her she doesn't have to come - I understand'

So, I told FH to swing by and pick up her card and he pauses and says 'wait what? you are really not going to come?'

So I laughed it off and pretended I was joking, but I wasn't. Is that criminally insane NOT to go?

I wouldnt be going....H E L L NO!

And I wouldn't be letting FH go over there either. It's just as bad if he gets sick!

(sorry, that probably didn't help )

re: FH...good point. He might need to stay away also....

Re: tell me i am crazy

I would just pop in for a bit, not touch anything or anyone, try to hold my breathe and leave!!

Seriously though, if you can, maybe go for a bit, don't kiss/hug you FSIL or her kids, wash your hands, and make an early exit.

Don't go. Esp. if you've got the pass from FMIL NOT to go.... sorry, but your health for your wedding day is a higher priority than someones feelings.

I'd call her yourself and explain that you'd love to see her, but you just really want to make sure you're not exposed to germy-germs. She'll understand.

Great idea. Call her yourself and explain. Im sure she will understand.

No you're not crazy. If you do end up going, bring your own silverware or suggest FMIL to use plastic so she doesn't have to clean. Bring anti bacterial gel and keep all the windows open!
