[quote=Anonymous]first off, we love her daughter dearly. It was my idea to get her girl, my girls, and my other SIL's girls together regularly for the weekend so they could bind since they live two hours apart. However, my SIL's daughter is always sick and was always getting my younger one sick. This weekend, SIL's daughter had a 105 degree fever the night before arrival, and has been running fevers off and on throughout the weekend. SIL doesn't see anything wrong with it as the fever comes and goes with medication. By her own admission, she sends her kid to school like that all the time. She goes on to say that the last two visits that her daughter had fevers too and my kids didn't get sick, which is untrue as my daughter did get sick after the July visit.  SIL's elderly parents are here too, and they are of trail health and whom the flu really wouldn't help.

My question is, what can I do? To keep my kids healthy (what are the real risks?)? To continue to foster the cousins' relationships? To stop from getting mad every time this happens?

Would you worry? Should I worry? Trying not to make a big deal but I feel it's selfish and reckless of her. [/quote]
