[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have thought you were overreacting and would have rolled my eyes—but I also would accept I’m not entitled to your home or time! There are issues where we say “reasonable minds can disagree” and this is one. [/quote]

This is where I am.  [b]I personally would have proceeded with one parent home with the sick kid, [/b]and the other daughter getting her communion party.  I don’t think both parents need to be home attending to the sick kid, and I don’t think the other sibling should have lost her communion party.  But I understand why a parent might have wanted a joint party for both kids, and that’s ok too.

THE PARTY WAS AT OP’S HOUSE. What don’t you get about that? It was a church service (communion) followed by a party with catered food at OP’s house. At least read the whole thread if you are going to comment.[/quote]

You seem quite upset by the idea that some people would do things differently yet not judge OP’s choice too.  I would have gone to the church gathering, allowed people to assume the risk of staying at my house given the disclosure of the sick kid, and had the catering at the uncle’s house where people were gathering anyway or at my house with the sick child in isolation.  It’s ok to make a different choice but no, OP’s decision wouldn’t have been mine.  I would have made the effort to celebrate for the non sick kid even if some things needed to be reshuffled.[/quote]
