[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Larla, Joe and I have rotavirus.  We can discuss your issues sometime when I'm not so sick. I don't text people that often.[/quote]

OP here, okay so I went with a variation of this. Basically just "Sorry, we have rotavirus and are super sick".

Her response: "I tried calling you, it's not like I can guess. [b]Not sure why you wouldn't let me know you were ill[/b]"

Was I supposed to send out an alert to everyone that I was sick now? Help, DCUM.[/quote]

Hahahahahahah congrats to your sister for finding a way to feel sorry for HERSELF when YOU'RE the one who had rotavirus!! This is not a healthy/normal response. A normal response is "Oh no! I'm sorry you're sick!" Boundaries, and don't take the bait. Don't even try to walk on eggshells or be apologetic because you will never win that way.

I wouldn't respond to this text...I mean, you can text her back, but do NOT respond to her efforts to be the victim...I would make it about something else, and maybe ask a question. "Yeah rotavirus was a bummer. When is Larlo's last day of school? Can't believe summer is here already!"[/quote]
