[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do not. But we have canceled three weekend trips so far this year due to illness, so what we are doing is clearly not working! Isolate away! But plead a prior commitment next time; as Miss Mannwrs would say, [b]there’s no need to reveal that the prior commitment is staying home avoiding germs[/b]. [/quote] Why can’t we be honest? I don’t get why this is so offensive to the host?[/quote] Its because OP is not truly isolating, she is picking and choosing what she thinks is highest risk, and its offensive to this family that she thinks they are more germy than others. If she were isolating from everyone it would be OK to advertise that. But she said she's doing other things just not this party. And her friend sees her doing other things so knows that she's not actually serious about isolating, she is just anxious about her family. Which is hurtful. And also illogical. The friend might have decided just not to put up with her weird quirks also.[/quote]
