[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP depending on type and stage of cancer and the treatment that got her into remission, your child’s bestie’s mom might never regain her precancer health and energy levels, she remains immune compromised within a few years of having cancer and treatment and she is absolutely right to limit the kid traffic in her home because kids of all ages are Petri dishes of communicable disease.

And yes, if she has diminished energy and needs to manage her stress, she should be focusing her all on her own family and not on hosting playdates.

And her daughter should not be blamed nor should you be judging her mother or making snark comments to your kid.

Be grateful you’ve not had cancer thus far in your life. Show some grace. [/quote]

Just be kind. I finished radiation in December and I host all the time still. I feel like I can handle it. This woman doesn't. If mentally she's been through the ringer and doesn't feel she can handle guests, that's an ailment, too. We talk about caring about mental health but then we give no grace to others.

I get it, even with cancer, I feel like I often put more effort into the hosting, driving, etc. But it's good that your kid knows they can count on you for this. You have to have your boundaries too, so if it's too much, say no. But don't do it in the name of tit for tat.[/quote]
